The fact that Saab may run out of such parts - and may have difficulty finding a manufacturer to make replacements - is pretty scary.
I understand the Saab 9-3SS key is a good anti-theft device. But if the design was too clever by a half, and the essential parts become unavailable as time goes on, such unplanned obscalescence is a troubling thought the next time I considering buying a new Saab.
If I buy a Chevy, despite how boring that may sound, you can kind of expect that parts will remain available and relatively cheap for a long time. It is something that you just don't ever think about.
So when I read about this parts embargo, for lack of a better term, ot really worries me that my 9-3, which I had hoped to keep for 15 years or so, may see the junk yard before its time simply due to the absence of such unique parts.
