Time to Say Goodbye to my 9000

Hi everyone. I bought my first 9000 (a '93 CS) just over four years ago. (Prior to my 9000, I owned an old 900 a LONG time ago.) Since buying it, I've gladly replaced the muffler and exhaust system, all motor mounts, fuel pump, serp belt and tensioner, timing chain, and tranmission (which was done while the car was still under warranty). But now...
I took her (and yes, I've named my car Camilla... after Gonzo's chicken on "The Muppets") in to have the front end checked for some odd sounds, and I learned that BOTH axels are pretty well shot. To fix them, it'd cost me about $1250 for parts and labor. I could get the parts reconditioned through a SaabNet sponsor, but I've reached my breaking point.
It's time to part ways with my '93, and I'd love to part it out to offer the MANY great parts to y'all for low prices, but I don't have a garage to part her out in. (We're apartment living right now.)
I have no hesitation to buy another Saab in the future, but I think I'm a little shy to buy one now. Give me five years, and I'll come back to Saab, but my wallet needs a break for now.
Thanks for all the great help. I got most of my questions answered by searchingthrough past posts. Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
joel_sa80s2
