Thanks for the reply PJ. I get that, but i'm wondering if anyone has any experiences that I can hear about. One person told me that for BMW they don't have a wholesale value, so they go by only the bill of sale.

Also, the seller never bought (or gave me) a Used Vehicle Information Package. She transferred jobs at Amgen to Los Angeles and didn't have any time. Just gave me the ownership and the car (after I did a pre-purchase inspection of course). I fully trust the seller though, as she's been my sister's best friend for over 20 years. I hope the Driver's resgistry of motor vehicles are okay with me not having this package - it's only $20 so I hope they would just let me buy it myself.

Thanks,
Don.
