First test drive

Been driving a long time but drove my first Saab today.
2001 9.5 v6,
performance, luxury, handling... awesome
One thing though, found the drivers seat somewhat uncomfortable,
does it tend to give or is it me? (I drive an LHS today)
Now, the car is about 90% clean, a couple of scratches o the bumpers one wheel has a nick in it, ok it's four years old not bad.
Inside:Mint except for a couple of quirky things,
1. no owners manual
2. no maintenance records
3. only one key
4. the little plastic screw covers where the inside door release handle is missing from both front doors.
So, I can get an owners manual from EBay, assuming 4 and 6 cylinders are the same manual.
No maintenance records bother me a little, but the car only has 29K on it and I do have about 3 months warranty safety net, the milage is so low and the dealership seems honest (they just serviced the car oil, battery and tires) clean carfax they bought it from an auction, so I think I'm ok here. The one key, I guess I can order one from Saab?
But, (not trying to sound anal) the missing door caps thing, Why was someone in the door panels? And where can I buy something like those?
You guys have been great help over the last few weeks with my research and shopping. Please advise on any comments I have made on this post.
Again, thanks in advance.
Wayne
