Sorry to hear you've had a problem right away but at least it sounds like something quick to sort out.

Anyway, enjoy the car ... and the yellow

Starter motors making a high pitch squeal should be replaced before too long, as they can stay engaged and damage a flywheel. Best to just get it done.
Usually they only make this squeal when cold, and demonstrating problem to a dealer may mean leaving car with them so they can hear it start from cold.
