If you are not someone who knows how to use tools, you are at the mercy of market value and repair costs. Saab V6's have gotten a bum rap, whethter or not it is deserved, and many avoid them. My mechanic won't go near them. That afects market value.
If you can use tools, then the answer is clear...DIY.
Everyone else makes excellent points. If you love the car or know the car is in otherwise pristine shape, pay whatever to get her fixed. Heck, you might even try to buy a used engine and have it installed as that would be cheaper than having this one fixed. I am unfamiliar with the V6, but if they can change the belts prior to transplant, do so in order to protect the engine. Egines come up for sale all over, and are at many pick and pulls and junkyards and even on Fleebay.
Try to sell the car on this website's classifieds section, and also try Fleebay.
