The 3-4 days is because they have to have Saab cut the key by VIN and send it out. I'm not sure why they are charging you again since you already paid them to call Saab. In other words, you give them the VIN, they charge you *once* to call Saab and order a key by VIN. >They want me to tow the car to the dealer and pay $1,400 plus 3 hours >labour to install a new computer and re-program everything. This is a rip off. They can program new remotes to match your existing alarm AFAIK. It should take an hour of labor at most. Call some other dealers. Bob
