I just went through that decision also. Once the transmission died, the car drops in value to almost nothing. Might as well donate it to charity for a tax write-off.
I ended up pulling it myself, and probably spent about $2,500 to have it rebuilt and for many other miscellaneous parts that I replaced while the engine was out. If you know someone who has worked on Saabs, pulled a few engines, but doesn't have the overhead, you'll save a lot by having them replace it with a rebuilt.
Even if you just do the minimum, I think you'll make your money back if you sold it right away. In it's current state, maybe you'd get ... what, maybe $1000 - $1500 for it, as is. Maybe not that much.
