Default I Accepted Delivery...

Thank you for all of the advice. I decided to take the train to the dealership and check it out for myself. I test drove the car by myself for 30 minutes. I started and stopped the engine three times. The check engine light never came on. The salesperson did give me a copy of the discrepancy. It showed a code for the O2 sensor. I drove the car home for three hours and stopped for lunch - again no CEL...

I decided to buy the car. I really love it so far. All of the reviews have been very helpful for this purchase decision. I am tired from a long day but I am so thrilled - the wife not so much so....Here is a picture of my new airport car.
