Definitely rebuilt. Seiko Seiki compressors have a clever design, but like their Sanden counterparts they are unreliable. I've had a new one fail after around 20,000 miles. New ones are probably not worthwhile.
Keep in mind that I've owned Saabs only in Arizona and Texas, so I've been through a bunch of these compressors A few months ago I pulled one apart and I've been trying to locate shaft seals for it that are compatible with 134a.
The only nice thing about the Seiko Seiki is that it's not a Sanden SD7V16, as used on VWs and a bunch of other makes. It's one of the worst compressors ever, I'm guessing.
