Would you be financing that warranty or paying out of pocket? If financing it it's even more expensive, perhaps $4k when you're done. If out of pocket, you'd be better off putting it into your own maintenance account. In three years you'll have most of that money left while the warranty will have expired.
9-5s don't seem to have any Achille's heels. IF the car has been well cared for and IF you do likewise, your car will run just fine for the next three years and far beyond. Change ALL the fluids right away and do so routinely in the future. Get the timing belt changed at 100km if it's a V6 (Saab pays for the first belt in the US). Update all filters and keep an eye on the brake pads for wear. Keep it aligned. That's all I can think of.
