Scenario: You see a Saab for sale. It is a later Saab equipped with an immobilizer and laser cut key. Car for sale doesn't currently have a key to go with it. Only solution is to go get one cut, problem is Saab no longer around.

How do you get a key cut for a modern car when the company no longer exsists? Do you go to a GM dealership?

No mention of it having a title either. Suspicion raised.
Perhaps no picture or color description so as to not draw unwanted attention.

I have a friend that works at a SAAB indie shop that was an authorized warranty center. I make a call tomorrow and find out what can be done.

Find a good locksmith, they are still out there. I've had masters cut form vin's or master codes for multiple cars over the years, they are a lot cheaper than the dealer and they service all brands.

Exactly. Just I would leave the car hot all the time and run a switch panel.

with a hidden battery kill switch under a seat or something - both have to be engaged to start/run.

Come to find out, it's not a key that needs to be cut. It is one of these fobs like Mercedes has
