NADA says its worth $2800-5000, low retail/high retail. In my humble opinion, low retail is the max you will ever get for a Saab, I got mine from a dealer for considerably less than low retail. You would be very lucky to make $500 on the deal.
If you want to wrench on it yourself, take the motor out, strip it to a short block, take it to a real engine rebuilder (not your neighborhood mechanic) and if its only the bearings, they will rebuild the shortblock for around $300-600, depending on the parts needed. Then drive the car till dies.
