I've forgotten if this is a manual or automatic. Your concern would be for sheet metal stampings as that's about the only part that Saab uniquely creates - absent the presses in Trollhattan, it's hard to imagine how these would be available, unless the total numbers of cars is sufficient to motivate and independent supplier to buy the tooling. But that is true of every Saab. Maintenance parts (filters, brake pads, calipers, hubs and bearings, all are supplied independently and will be available so long as there is demand. Mechanical and electrical (electronic) parts as well are all from either independent suppliers or GM itself (in the case of engine parts).
Indications are that for the next decade at least Saab will be in business, and there are scenarios in which it not only exists, but prospers. GM seems determined to maintain a working relationship with the new owners, much as it has with Opel (they are retaining a minority stake in Opel, which they will not with Saab).
