Head Gasket on 99' 9-3!

Well my worst fears were confirmed yesterday. My 99' 9-3 has been losing a bit of coolant lately. I took it into the dealer and got the bad news - bad news esp. since the car is out of warranty - 70K.
I had never realized till just recently that 99' 9-3's have a chronic head gasket problem. While the car was still in warranty it would occasionally need a few ounces of coolant - say every 3 or 4 months. I never thought too much of it - my mistake! Gee, I wished I had read this board more often!
My contention to the service manager was that it should be fixed as if it were under warranty ($760!) because this is a very common problem with the 99' 9-3 and that the problem was surely there when the car was still under warranty. I just (and the service personnel) just didn't realize it. The service manager kindly suggested that I contact Saab USA which I did. I'll get their resolution today...
Anybody else have a head gasket fixed while car out of warranty?
