Congrats! $12K for an '00 S-model with around 100K is a good deal, you probably saved a couple $K.

Small white cloud on a cold morning startup is normal on these horizontal engines. Should be momentary and then clear up. Although I will admit that the first time you see it you will think that you've blown the engine. Any more than that and you should look into it.

Since your car has had the 90K service, the only thing I'd check is when the oil was last changed and do that if you're not sure.

Other than that, drive it and have fun!

The smell near the drivers vent is usually oil dripping down on the hot exhaust...

Is it stick or a TIP.....
