They will give you a checklist. It's pretty comprehensive as far as checking normal items, but there were a few missing things that surprised me. If I was a dealer who was going to warranty a used high-performance car, I would perform leakdown and compression tests, for example, and this was not part of the CPO check. But I will say you made the right decision by going with a certified car. I also have a certified 1997, and sure, I paid quite a bit more for it, but the peace of mind, and the warranty (which I HAVE used in the short time I've owned it!) are worth it!
