at least, depending on the year... up to the changeover to the wider shaft (I think it was 2004, I have a 2004, and it has the wider shaft), Ilco makes a key blank, and a key blank with transponder. And both are similarly priced or cheaper than from a dealer + available at any locksmith. Any independent Saab with a Tech2 tech can program it (for cheaper than the dealer).
The wider key blank is a problem, at least in the summer when I looked. I'm certain Ilco will make a key blank for it, possibly soon if the ip is released due to bankruptcy (not sure the legal issues or how long it takes for key blank shapes to hit the public domain)... Might be worth getting an extra blank off ebay if you are concerned... but if you already followed Larry's excellent key FAQ, you still have 2 keys (after losing one) and all is fine...
