With those keys, the only option is if the ebay key is a blank that you can get cut at a locksmith, then take it to the $tearler and get it programmed. Some indy shops will do it for 80 or less though. Finding ones that are blanks are almost impossible.
Let me tell you the cautionary tale I've heard many times though... The 250 may be a small price to pay if you lose or destroy that single key. If you do, and it is not repairable, you will have to replace a whole computer module called dice or twice (cant recall which) and at least one key that is tied to the new one or your car will not start.
How do I know? I bought a saab with NO keys at an auction and spent 2 months trying to find a cheap way around it. All told I got it going for $1200 in parts in labor. Your experience with the dealer would be very much higher I can assure you.
Don't ask me why, its not like anyone steals saabs or saab parts...
