Saabs are upscale cars. And that attracts a clientele that is generally better off than those buying, say, a Hyundai, Kia or even a Yota. And those customers are usually willing to pay for what they may perceive is higher quality parts and service. And dealers, knowing that the typical Saab buyer is probably *not* a DIY type who hunts for the best deal on parts, will charge what they can get away with.
More costly cars have always been more expensive to repair and parts are part of the deal. It goes with the "charge as much as you can without laughing" approach to business. (Which I have been known to use myself from time to time.)
