Congrats! You have purchased one of the better cars out there. Check to make sure your plastic secondary timing chain tensioners have been replaced with metal ones. I would also drop the oil. Other than that, just Enjoy!

The tensioners have been replaced ad the supercharger has been rebuilt, I was told the oil was changed recently and it does look clean but I plan on changing it this weekend anyway.
