None, just get the service bulletins and go from there. I'd be more worried about the mileage and how the dealership treated the car.

6/2003 and only 13 miles?? In all that time not even a few test drives? You should check and see if this car was damaged during shipping and sat at a body shop all this time.

That car is 15 months old. They better discount the **** out of it for you to buy it!

Mine was a Sept 03 build and had a fair amount of "lot rot" ...

if the rotors aren't too rusty-they have to have some on them- I'd jump on it! If they are, ask if them to assure you they'll resolve any problems w/ them under warranty (shouldn't need to ask but it's good to have the assurance).
