Bummin. I had almost the same thing happen with my '96. There are a couple of things to consider.
#1) definitely take it to the independants. i don't trust the dealers at all.
#2) they may be able to repair the motor you have. there is a design flaw that made these motors too weak for their jobs. there is a Saab kit that reinforces the motor to help this problem. it's pretty cheap even with installation
#3) you could get a used motor, but that's kind of risky, i was quoted about half the price of new plus installation, so like $800 to $850, but since the motors are inherantly weak, if you plan on keeping the car for several years and you do have to replace your motor, suck it up and get a new one.
good luck.
