Default Warranty Expiring

My factory warranty expires next month. I'm not much for extended warranties, but was wondering if it would be wise to take the car to a dealer or somewhere and have it checked over good before the warranty expires, in case anything is on the way to needing work.

The car has never needed anything, and has never been back to the dealer's for any work, either with the previous owner or since I've had it. It's an 04 with 18,000 miles on it. The way my luck goes, the week after the warranty expires, something major will go out. What do you think?
