Yes, push for more from SAAB as the maintenance schedule has been followed. The $9000 estimate seems high - I'd try to talk with SAAB direct and see what they feel is a reasonable price. As Dave W said, talk to them reasonably & get them involved; the more they get involved the harder it is for them to refuse you a reasonable settlement. I personally have received some SAAB "donations" for other failures - not as serious as yours - so you may win the day. The big thing is to show you didn't abuse the car or miss out on essential maintenance. (THat's why I asked the questions in my previous note to be sure you were on good ground for a case.)
