Large number of cooling problems on 2002 9-5

I'm experiencing at least my fourth separate cooling problem on my 2002 9-5 Aero Wagon. The car has less than 33,000 miles on it, and I've maintained it as well as, if not better than, the manual requires.
During the first three years I had at least a couple repairs related to some kind of sealant problem under the oil cooler + thermostat cover (?). At least those were covered under warranty.
Then, in the fourth year I had a leaky hose ($100) and then had to replace the entire water pump ($700). Less than two months after that, I'm now facing another $1,000-$1,500+ repair (they're not sure what yet, but it looks like it could be the intake manifold or something else down in that area).
Saab has been no help. They've twice denied my requests for goodwill. The dealership claims their hands are tied, of course. I'm pretty close to thinking I should sell this car before my losses mount in the coming years.
It seems ridiculous to me that a car with this low mileage should have this many separate problems within the same "system". Thoughts?
