Obligations during purchase process
Most cars are out of state, if I wanted to purchase one and it's shipped here then when I go see it and test drive it, I decide it's not for me, what happens next? What am I obligated too?

2009 BMW 7 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 2009 BMW 7 Series sees a lot of upgrades this year, including a new, more powerful and more efficient engine, a small weight loss, new lines, and BMW’s new Driving Dynamics Control system. This full-size luxury sedan seats five and delivers power to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
The new engine, a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, is more powerful, more efficient, and smaller than the base V8 from previous years. With 400 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque that make an appearance at 1,800 rpm, it will push the 4,500-pound vehicle past 60 mph in just over 5 seconds.
Driving Dynamics Control shows up this year, a system that adjusts suspension, steering, transmission, and driving assists depending on four user-selected settings - Comfort, Normal, Sport, and Sport+. This system includes Integral Active Steering, which allows three degrees of steering input from the rear wheels, as well as Electronic Differential Lock Control, BMW’s mechanical limited-slip system.
Comfort is as much a priority as performance in this, the flagship of the German automaker’s fleet. Seats and suspension both provide any of a number of combinations of performance/support and comfort, with more than enough of both for long trips. The styling refresh sees a new front end, with an integrated bumper that pulls the visual weight downward, for a more grounded appearance.
Also new for 2009 are a blind-spot alert, a lane-departure warning, a heads-up display, sideview and rearview cameras, high beams that automatically dim when oncoming traffic is detected, and a 40GB hard drive for the audio and navigation systems. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, an anti-skid system, front side, curtain side, and knee airbags, as well as a standard navigation and new version of the much-maligned iDrive system that has been praised for its upgrades.

BMW 750Li is more than a super car in terms of hard body, stability, speed, equilibrium, weight, interior, luxury and safety. You will never regret using. BMW 750LiNov 07, 2024

Absolutely the worst BMW that you can buy. One problem after the next. And to think when this car came out it was valued over $80,000! Do yourself a favor and say clear older 7 series Jul 28, 2023

This car is amazing in every aspect from looks to drive you can not find a better car. Plenty of space for the whole family! The back feels like you are being driven around in a limo. The technology is amazing from the accuracy of the navigation to the ease of use. This is a car that is fun to gets decent gas mileage.Aug 06, 2014

It is nice to press the gas of your family car and blow away many so called sports cars. It is nice to ride in the city and not be disturbed by the pandemonium outside. It is nice to have responsive handling and power in a car the kids fit in. The 750 is a fine automobile and if you can get one, please do.Apr 12, 2012

Palace on wheels!!
If you looking at elegancy, performance, style, brand, status, legroom, safety, etc...... .. .. .. .. just step into it and leme no next time.
Dark blue, or white is too good to even emagine, the ship just cruises along and leaves many eyes staring at it!!

I have a lot of BMWs, but this beauty is my favourite. It accelerates from 0-100km/hs in less 6.5 seconds. The breaking is also fantastic. It is more than fun to drive this car, as its comfort is awesome.Nov 19, 2009
