Used car prices have been climbing, even well before COVID. The COVID days were bonkers, but prices have been falling fairly strongly over the past 3 months and will continue to do so because of interest rates.
$20K in Canada is $15K in the US. $15K for a 2016ish Japanese car is about what I'd expect to pay.
Are you just adverse to spending $20-25K for a solid used car just because of the price or is it more of a financial thing?
Saabs (and Porsches) aren't particularly hard to work and there is a YouTube video out there for damn near every repair. Why not invest $1000 in some good tools and do most of the work yourself and save at least 50%+ of the cost to fix your Saab? You could fix the A/C and have a shop recharge it. The worst that can happen is that you can't do it and need the shop to do it for you. The tools will be useful in maintaining your other cars and God knows that 911 will need work every year
