In this case in you might want to walk away or even run. While I really hate to see Saabs of any kind go the the wrecking yard, at this stage of the game they just don't have the potential value to justify rust repair or major body work. In the long term a notchback comes in a distant fourth to Convertibles, SPG's and late model Turbos in terms of desirability. At least get some estimates from body shops on what it would cost to fix, which should help you make a decision. Classic Saabs are going up in value now and will continue to do so. The car might be worth fixing up as a driver, but it'll be a long time before the value goes up to where you could sell it and come out ahead.
