I have owned three Saabs so far. I recommend you keep yours. The uniqueness and style make up for other short comings, plus a properly maintained Saab will not rust out or fall apart after 100K like other vehicles.
Dealer vs. Indy. I live in Nebraska and have only one Saab dealer close by. The dealer's service department leaves much to be desired. We do have an independent mech that is quite good. The advantage is that these guys service mostly Saabs. Therefore they know the typical problems and are able to repair them easily. It sounds like Derek's direction to Swedish Imports would really help.
FWIW I had an indie shop replace my entire exhaust, cost $350. My indie did brakes w/o replacing rotors for $300. The transmission flush and fill should have been part of the 60k service. I am currently looking for tires. I have found that most tire shops will furnish tires, mount, balance, and do alignment all in one package.
How does the car look? Is the interior in good shape? I just bought a 97 and one person commented that it looked like a brand new car. I bet you never hear that about a Chevy Malibu or similar.
