Blown Head Gasket on 2006 9-5 with only 35k- Keep It?

Dear Friends,
I have an 06 9-5 with only 35k on the odometer. After bringing my vehicle to a SAAB shop for an oil and filter the mechanic pointed out a small head gasket leak.
I was shocked to learn of this especially on a 4 year old vehicle with 35k (not even broken in). I brought my SAAB to Bev Hills SAAB and they replaced it under warranty (thank G-d).
My question is should I keep the car as the warranty expires in December or sell it? I am a little leary because I have had other issues crop up that I am sure would cost $$$. My other option is to buy an extended warranty. Items already replaced:
1. Coolant bypass valve
2. Battery
3. Sunroof cassette
4. Head Gasket
5. Window regulator
6. Shift boot
7. Headlight relay
8. Headlight switch
Should I sell and look for another car or keep it?
Thanks in advance.
