thank you,

Welcome Don. I would have the dealer do an oil change and reset the FSS before delivery. Experience tells most of us that they would probably just reset the FSS and tell you they changed the oil (never trust a dealer with this car). The TSBs will be complaint only so printing out a list of them would give you a good idea of problem areas to look out for. The only recall that I know of was for the cooling fan and I would ensure they take care of that before delivery as well. The car is great...finding a qualified dealer/mechanic is a nightmare. If you can do it yourself, you are much better off and there are plenty of how-to's here on the forum.
