That thing is noice. Whenever I see a first gen charger I can't help but think of how that body style was almost completely unloved in the mid-late 90's and you could pick them up for pocket change compared to the later ones.

Certainly remember the smoker, guess it's a hot item
I've paid less than $20 for 10 key copies over the years, at this point I'm just willing to accept that keys on cars built post-2000 have immobilizers which $300/key may be possible (while pre-2000 cars have severe rust problems)
The only 'We Owe' I held the dealer to when I bought the 650 was that they were going to give me a second key for free.
GM had VATS back in the '90s, which helped keep f-body insurance rates reasonable. Things definitely spiraled out of control since then. I remember my roommates paid $180 for *a* key for his Focus in 2000, that sucked.
The thing with Saabs is the anti-theft system is unrecoverable with a key coded to it. You do not want to find yourself without one key - it's an enormous, expensive repair. When the Aero showed up with one key, I made arrangements to get a second immediately. $140 was chump change compared to the $1000+ repair that would have been needed if that singular key disappeared. I don't know if there are other cars like that, but it's something I'm really aware of with post '99 Saabs. '94 to '99 Saabs are no different, but on those cars programming out the immobilizer ain't no thing these days.
