Thanks everybody.
I'm having a few dings taken care of today. I don't know much about the maintenance history, but I put it in the shop right after buying it to repair a faulty driver's side door lock, and a faulty SRS.
They replaced both belt buckles and harnesses; I'll keep my fingers crossed that the dash light doesn't return.
The rear brakes didn't seem to be working, as evidenced by the lack of shininess of the discs. The previous owner had spray-painted the calipers and the mechanic claimed the paint had ruined the pads.
I looked at the pads after they were removed and they seemed normal to me. Anybody ever hear of such a thing?
PS This car has some sort of chrome package; does anybody know what the option was, or called (besides "chrome package?"
