I have felt your pain; why I left the rustbelt!

Now I am enjoying the sunshine in NC, and have 2 clean 900's with minimal to no rust on them. If all else fails, you might take a trip south sometime. I regularly see 3 doors in used car lots down here, as "the locals" don't much care for these cars (this is NASCAR country, and they don't field a SAAB).
As a last resort, strip out your good drivetrain, spend a few days down here and I bet you could find a RUSTFREE 900 for under $1000, maybe under $500 even. Would be a fairly serious project, but you would have a totally rustless car once done. All the screws/bolts in my cars come out without knuckle busting pain/ heat wrenches.
Good luck. Your pain is just of the reasons I left Ohio behind....
