Default Certified S2000?

This is my second day of owning a 2005 new formula red S2000. I got it at a Sarasota dealership as a certified car. My sales guy said there was no keyless entry while at the dealership. I thought keyless entry was standard. The next morning I saw there were no floor mats (it was almost dark when leaving the dealership). I later find that the brake fluid is brown, the windshield wipers are toast and the interior light doesn't come on when the doors open.
Surprisingly my salesman responded to my email (also cc the pre-owned manager). And said a local dealership will call and schedule to fix the issues.
If they want to sell a "certified" car actually do the work don't just check off boxes saying the job was done. Done ranting! The car is really a blast to drive.
By the way it has 19700 miles and sold for 19950!
