There is a horrific squeal when I start the vehicle. It subsides slightly after car warms up for five to seven minutes. I just got this car delivered yesterday. Information from previous owner: AC pump replaced in last few weeks. Power steering pump replaced in last few days.

This sounds to me like you have a drive belt that is glazed or needs to be tightened or both. I have included a couple of links for you to go to down below:
