First, living in Maine (reasonably cold winters), and being on my 9th 900 Turbo, I don't think I've ever had a battery with more than 525 CCA at 0 degrees F. I've used a few new, and a few from salvage yard ($15-$20) - with no problems - ever. I'm not sure why people feel they need 900-1000 CCA. If a Saab engine "turns over", it will start if it is meant to.
Second, when you consider a battery for your car, remember that the batteries have 2 Cold Cranking Ampere ratings- One for 32 degrees F., and one for 0 degrees F. - don't let the crap info fool you! In most cases, a 525 CCA at 0 degrees F. battery is plenty of battery for 4 or 5 years.
