Default Thanks!

Thanks all for your insight...I ended up yesterday purchasing my silver/black turbo for 113,000.I absolutley love it and for having 14,000 miles it was really in mint condition.I wish I could have done a little better on the price but whatever.I hope to keep the car for many years.Thank you again...
One question I have is in the manuel is says you can check your oil thru the setup on the dash.For that information does the car have to have been sitting for awhile or you can check your oil anytime while driving?

Congrats on your new car!!

The car must be warmed up and at idle before you can check the oil. I usually check it right before I shut it off.

Congratulations and enjoy it - you will love the car. Mine just turned one year old and I am still really happy with the car. Not one problem.
