I bought a "re-conditioned" one from here back in 2004
http://www.euro-saab-parts-direct.com
They charged 150 quid plus VAT, but added on 38 quid plus VAT deposit,
to be re-funded when I sent the old one back.
It's still working fine, four years later.
Don't forget to factor in the cost of getting the new one programmed
for the car at a Saab dealer or specialist.
Cheers,
Colin.
