There are a few places, mostly online where you can get a Tech-2. However the Tech-2 is somewhat limiting as it only works on GM based vehicles for most of the bidirectional testing. Another issue is that there are a lot of fake ones on the market, they are Chinese made "clones" but many are not able to work like the real ones. Overall I would suggest going with a newer tool that can do the same tests but also give you a tool that can be used across more vehicles and up to current models (the Tech-2 only covers up to 2013) Also to be used with the Saab you need the specific Saab software as the common Tech-2 doesn't cover them other than generic OBD II and that doesn't give you the bi-directional controls for testing.
I would suggest looking at either a Launch or Autel tool, those will cover more car brands and still have the ability to do many of the same things as the OEM tools for those brands.
The question then becomes what else do you want the tool to do as they offer various models with added options. If you are in the US I would suggest looking at some of the US based sellers who offer support, Like other items there are "authorized" stores as well as gray market tools, the US ones usually have a warranty and support, but you pay a bit more for that.
