Help...timing belt snapped...bent valves...need new engine

The timing belt on my 1995 900SE V-6 snapped at 90k miles and it bent the valves so now I need to get a new engine or trash the car I have really liked. Saab has offered $2000 towards a repair or a new car, but since I have had impecable maintenance including having it at the dealership just a month ago for over $1000 of repairs I don't think this is fair compensation.
Am I out of bounds to be upset at the amount of liability I am going to have to pitch in for a new engine due to the breakage of a notoriously faulty part?
Also if anyone can provide a good source of a quality used engine I would appreciate it. I am currently not working due to a back injury so money is definitely an issue and not having a car is interfering with my physical therapy and ability to take medication at the prescribed time. I need to get this situation cleared up quickly.
Thanks
