I don't think you're an idiot, but having spent thirty years in the car business off and on, I've seen what happens when emotion rules when it come to car decisions. You said money was tight which was a factor in my advice. How about this, since your car has zero resale value anyway, keep it. But take your credit card and buy a better Saab to drive. Fix your convertible up as you have time and money to do so. Since you'd have a good driver, you could take your time, do some of the work yourself, search around for used parts and you wouldn't be under any pressure to get it done. It's not that your car can't be restored, it's just that it doesn't make sense based on what you could buy a nice drivable one for. By the time you get your convertible cherried out it might very well be worth what you have in it.
