Welcome and congrats!

Has the oil been changed? If not, you should take care of that. IMS failure may be linked to long intervals between oil changes. There's no std mileage but it should be changed between 5k-7.5k miles (whatever you feel comfortable with), or annually if driven fewer miles per yr. If the brass hat had it for a yr, you should change the oil.

What dealer did you purchase it from? I bought my first box from Boardwalk in Plano. They were excellent to deal with.
