Of course due your due diligence on alignment, note many tire centers won't have the shim kits available to make the alignments but get your readings and post them here on the forums other members can comment on what's acceptable vs needed corrected.

Welcome to the forums and enjoy your new ride..

NOTE: If the PO had done any spring replacement / Lowering you may have diff reading

Check the busings, make sure the wheels are balanced, and if at 36000 miles, the original tires are still on the car, they need to be replaced.
