As these were sold as option at a price of US$ 1,000 (only for the door trim), not many bought this option with their new car, but went for the wooden dash alone. That's why it's very difficult to find on the second hand market (no longer stocked by SAAB). One way to go is to look for a Griffin, as they had these trims installed from the biginning (together with wooden dash and back-seat ashtray). At the rare occations that you see some on the second hand market here in Europe, they are in the range of US$ 200 to 500 depending on condition. I saw recently on this board somebody saying he found a set on a UK scrap yard that obviously was arranging distribution to the US as well.
You can also bare in mind, that if you see a notice on e-bay (or somewhere else) with complete door panels from a Griffin, go for them, as you will not only get the wooden trims, but also leather arm rests. Someone posted pictures not long ago after having installed both wooden trims and leather arm rests, that looked very neat.
Keep on looking!
