The local dealership quoted me $7700--$4700 for a new short block, plus labor, new seals, etc. etc. That was only an estimate--more labor could have been involved in connecting the short block to what remains of the original engine.
I'm in the process of buying a Mazda 6 Sports Sedan while I continue to battle Saab and GM for their defective product.
A reputable local shop (S & H Automotive) who works exclusively on Saabs wants to look at the engine....bearings 2 and 3 seized and they believe my short block is likely very salvageable for much less. Some day when I have some mad money I will look into it. If nothing comes forward from Saab, I have nothing to lose by hanging on to the car...rather do that than sell it for scrap. Too much pontential driving fun to be had....
In the meantime, I merely need to get out of the rental I've been in for 5 weeks and into reliable, safe, worry-free (at least for some time) transportation. The Mazda has many of the safety features of Saabs and some surprises for a lower-end vehicle. Advanced braking system that rivals new BMW 331 Cis as well as a manual/automatic transmission on the same powertrain. Pretty nifty--not that I know what to do with all the gears I can now work at will (have never driven a 'real' manual).
Always a heavy decision to make when that kind of money is involved. Good luck sorting out your situation.
