Viggen oil pressure sensor and warranty question

Hi,
A friend of mine has an '01 Viggen - think its an '01 (4 door 5 speed). She purchased it used with about 40K on the clock, still under factory warranty, but not a certified pre-owned. She recently had a bad oil pressure sensor. By the time her mechanic diagnosed the bad sensor, he had replaced the head gasket and just about every other seal on the engine. Had the car not been under warranty, the repair would have cost her a couple grand. Is this a common problem?
She's worried about what else might go wrong, and is about to purchase an aftermarket warranty from a saab dealer here in colorado (not mike shaw - gephardt i think). She lives way up in Carbondale, CO (betw Aspen and Glenwood Springs) and there's like one Saab person up there that can do warranty work - no dealers. Denver would be the next closest place with good Saab mechanics, and is about a 4 hour drive. Maybe shorter in that car!
What else should she expect? Should she go for the warranty (+/- $2,500) ?
Thanks,
Brian
