Great looking car!
I think you can get the oil filter wrench at WalMart. Pickup a new filter at your local dealer and take it to WalMart to try out the "socket" oil filter wrenches they have there. I'm betting one will fit.
I just got my '98 (Active Pkg) in Texas (Houston) about two weeks ago and drove back home some 1,300 miles, but then I bought it from the original owner and had service records. Ask your dealer if they'll print out a DCS Vehicle History Report for you. It will show all warranty work including the free services done in the first 50k miles and, if they forget to block it out, the last owner's name. You might be able to contact the old owner for service information. I assume you didn't get any books with it?
