If it is a 1 owner I would expect it to come with complete repair and matinence records.

Yep, be aware of how lucky you are.....congrats. If no maintenance records, start to do a base line maintenance. Change the fluids, check the tire date codes, get a service manual, check all the brake flex lines. General maintenance/safety stuff. They are great cars enjoy.
ps figure out how to post pics......
