That's great news, if you go to the homepage for saabnet, find a sponsor like eeuroparts.com or one of the others, sometimes their prices vary on expensive items, you can check out online prices for all sorts of fun stuff your car will need. Keep in mind that the dealer will mark up these prices to beat the band. My opinion, they should have called you before they put car back together about the water pump, save you maybe 1 hour of labor to take it apart again. They always seem to tag you for something extra, don't they?
While they're doing the water pump, have them put on a new serpentine belt (aka acessory belt) if it hasn't been done lately, just for good measure in case coolant has spilled on it (different than the timing belt which is underneath the double-humped plastic on the engine, the serp. belt is the one you can see moving in the engine compartment along the passenger side wheel well, the water pump is the pully down near the bottom, if I recall correctly, the timing belt is behind the serp. belt).
Just for good measure, while the belt is off, consider replacing the tensioner pully for that belt, and there is also another pully that can go bad, esp. with your higher mileage. The parts are like $40 each (again, compare online, you can DIY the pulleys if you feel up to it, it ain't that hard with a few good tools, and I've posted the procedure previously)
Good luck.
