With only 1561 miles do you think the oil is the original with the car? and if so it should prolly be change and it take Mobile 1?

Change it ( w/ new filter) plus check quality of other fluids (radiator, etc.) Use Mobli 1 or I changed mine to royal purple. RP has a little higher rating than Mobil 1.
Good luck on your new ride!!

Post up the VIN and maybe someone like Sponge Vette will run it through GMVIS so you can get the service and origination history.
As piece of mind, I might be tempted to change or at least check all the fluids. Don't forget to look closely at the rubber (tires, belts, weatherseals), as it can oxidize and dry out when it sits for a long time.
Sounds like you found yourself a nearly brand new car.....what a shame someone never got to enjoy it.
