I got my car today and honestly, I love EVERYTHING about it. No problems what so ever, knock on wood. Brakes are perfect, no odd noises, car handles beautifully. The only thing I noticed is that even at a complete stop, the tachometer needle is never at 0 or close to 0 RPMs. At a complete stop, the needle's just under 1. Is this normal?

It means the engine is running. It's not a golf cart.

My mom's car (S500) and my dad's car (GS430) both are pretty close to 0 even when the car's running. As long as it's normal though. Thanks

The tach should only hit zero when the engine is off.
