I would be especially hesitant to buy (finance, pay cash) a new Saab right now but at least leasing offers some resale protection. I imagine lease deals will start to be promoted with the 2011 9-5s.
As far as parts availability, I think manufacturers are legally obligated to provide parts for at least 10 years after end of production but I'm not sure what happens when the manufacturer closes shop. I suppose you might then have to rely on aftermarket companies.
