I am negotiating the purchase of a 98 740iL from a private leasing company my company does business with. The car is in Chicago. I am in NJ. I havent seen the car yet. Generally, this company takes high end cars and structures leases specifically for clients depending upon their tax or other situation. The 98 iL has 40K miles on it. I will have the car checked out by a BMW dealer before I purchase.

Here are a couple of questions for the group. I appreciate your help:

1. Is it possible to bring the car to BMW and pay for them to "certify" it?

2. I did an archive search on extended warranties and the results were a little dated. So, assuming I cant certify it, please recommend an extended warranty company that you've had recent experience with.

3. I've asked for all the service records, VIN number, pictures...what else should I review? What specifically should I ask the dealer to look for?

4. Can anyone recommend a transport company? What cost should I anticipate to transport from Chicago to NJ.

Thanks everyone! This group is great.
