wildtt/kankou: thx - I also like the color combo. I wasn't sure she'd want gray but she likes it quite a bit, especially the interior color.

ard: I was searching in a 500 mile vicinity so when I noticed it was local it made it much easier. When I met the guy he brought records from Dealer as well as claims from the warranty (last year) and recent brakes. From there I visited a local BMW Dealer to have them review the history with me (he approved), verify they've heard/used the warranty company (UAL - owned by Penske according to them), and then actually speak to the warranty company to verify it could be transferred, the terms and coverage. It's a $100 deductible so not bad.
