The lumbar support didn't show up until MY97, but he's right about the keyless entry. To the best of my knowledge it cannot be retrofit.
Chris had good comments, additionally, check out the heated seats, they are fragile and run about $250 per side to fix. Verify the operation of the headlight wipers, the motors run about $350 per side. Check for leaks from the bottom of the bellhousing, the transmission input shaft seal sometimes goes and is ~$400 to fix. More rare is a rear main seal failure, you'll see the leak in the same place.
Does the car have service records? It wouldn't be a bad idea to have it checked out by a knowledgeable, impartial party.
You'll get a lot of car for the money, but it won't be cheap to run. My '95 SET has run me $150/month in maintenance since I bought it almost two years ago. That doesn't count the ~$500 of repairs the factory warranty covered or the ~$900 in repairs that the extended warranty has covered. Add those in and the number becomes more like $225/month for maintenance. This is on an "inspected" car bought from a Saab dealer.
