You know where its been for the past couple of years and I think that you do like the car? You should be able do a little better than $2900 - perhaps 400-500 lower. You need to use a Saab independent mechanic here; few transmission shops are experienced with these cars. There is a top-notch transmission shop 4 blocks from my home. They are fair and honest, but, they will not touch mine unless its just a fluid change....they are not experienced with Saabs.
If you want to keep the automatic, fine, but, don't abuse it after the rebuild (abuse from previous owner?) and have the fluid changed frequently. Fluid changes on automatics always seem to be overlooked.
I would not worry about the head gasket. That's more of an issue with the '91s 2.1 litre non-turbo, not the 2.0 litre in your car.
