1991 Saab 900S automatic transmission "problem"

If you saw my post below then you know my "problem". Daily driven with no prior problems then one day just nothing, no noises, no movement at all. It seems strange to me that it's just that quick/simple but I'll take the advice given with sincerity. Otherwise this car is NICE and I do want to fix it however if that requires a bunch of expense on a 13 year old 140,000 miles Saab for a new or rebuilt trnasmission then I'm afraid my ownership just ended. I was looking and found 2 lower mileage transmissions locally, priced at $250 and $300 respectively. I don't see this as being a major job to swap out for my brother in law mechanic but I honestly don't know.
ANY advice is highly appreciated. Am I just throwing away $ by using a used transmission [everything else is used, it's not a new car]. If I go this route, what is good advice to look for on/at when getting a used transmission? Any service recommended on the used transmission after install? How difficult [or easy, hopefully] is the process of removal/replacement? Anyone here have a source for an applicable transmission here in the eastern ~ coastal NC region?
What years will work on a 1991 Saab 900s NON turbo?
What is the estimated expense for a rebuild on the current tansmission and whom is recommended to do such rebuilding?
Thank You in advance!
