Still, it was my understanding that any type of head gasket problems were worked out before the '96 model year.. Also, I've heard of many cases were the dealer absorbed much of the cost of replacement, even for cars out of warranty, was this the case with your car, or did you have it done at an independent shop?
For what it's worth, the 2.0l 16V head gaskets are extremely long lived. My original one was at 256k when I had another engine put in, due to a rod knock. Have you had head gasket problems on your 900s ? I'd be surprised if you have, unless they are a 2.1l engine, which I think is pretty rare..
