The only I'd suggest doing is running the ACC diagnostic by pressing AUTO and OFF at the same time on the A/C control panel with the car running. Make sure it says "0."
Sludge was more or less solved in the 2004 model year. And head gaskets are not a common issue with these later models. I wholeheartedly recommend NOT spending the money on an extended warranty. You won't need it. Plus, they're all scams anyway.
If you buy it, I would recommend a transmission fluid flush just because. For future reference, a case of Saab ATF is about $250. You can get the SAME exact stuff at a Toyota dealership for $68. Mine was a slipping a bit when I bought it at 30k miles and a flush cleared that up. I'm at 56k miles on my 2004 Aero auto and it's been very much trouble free. Good luck!
