Every older 9000 I've seen has had rust on the bottoms of the doors. You can grind it down, fill in with bondo, sand and paint over. Or, maybe you can take it somewhere else for inspection. Here in Maine I've found that VIP is pretty leinient. Go in at the end of the day right before they close. I'd been told by an independent Saab shop that I needed new pads, rotors, new rear brake caliper, and new rear fender (it was very rusted out) to pass inspection. VIP passed it (and a few weeks later I asked them to replace the brake pads for me, and they said that the rotors were too thin by state law and they would have to replace those too if they did the job)
Good luck
