I regularly stock 40+ OG9-3/OG9-5 key blanks and 20+ '04+ 9-5 key blanks here at the shop (the all in one integrated units). Have a local locksmith who has the $18k "laser cut" key machine to duplicate them. Was completely out of stock so ordered 20 of each from a Saab dealer in Australia (only market I could find stock). They were SUPER pricey as all Saab parts are, even without the exchange rate and shipping. To get an idea of price, figure Saab USA list price x3.5-4. So a $50 part here is usually $150-200 there, plus the lower exchange rate to the Australian dollar, plus shipping.
The 9-3SS transponders are currently still backordered in USA, over 3,400 on order with no ETA of resupply.
Its one thing if you cant get an engine mount or a new hood emblem, its another if you cant get another or even ONE key for your vehicle in this current situation. I dont see it getting any better before it gets much worse yet.
