Default New Owner With A Few Questions

Just purchased an '05 in New Mexico.
18000 miles...$9500!
I have wanted one of these since they were released and now can finally afford one!
An example with that low of mileage was going for around $15000 in Denver!
Had a great three day drive back to Northern Colorado via the winding roads of the rockies!

1. Sometimes the key will turn but the engine will not.

2. Spent 15 minutes at a gas station reading the manual trying to find out how to open the gas latch only to push on it and it popped open. At the next fill-up, it did not open but eventually did by pushing on the red button of the fob? Not sure. The owner had never used the red button. The next fill-up the latch opened by pushing.

3. No lower vent only setting? That is annoying if the temperature is nice and one finds himself cruising country roads with open windows only to have hot feet. I have never owned a vehicle without this setting.

4. Check engine came on twice for many miles. It was on while sitting in line at the emissions testing station and was told that would cause an immediate "fail". I disconnected the battery and had it tested and it failed. Was told to drive it for app. 100 miles in order to reset it. A local garage said that there was no sense in testing it until it resets. I am going to attempt to acquire a temporary[IMG]20150628_193122[/IMG] plates tomorrow so that I can now drive legally (I drove 1000 miles with no plates).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
