At the Lenovo website they have a list of "National resellers". All of
these sell refurbished thinkpads online, and I am fairly confident they are
refurbished by Lenovo or whoever Lenovo uses.
I did not buy the extended warranty; the >800 days is what was on the
machine when I bought it. They offer an upgrade to 5 years depot for around
$180.

Our most recent refurbished unit (from an authorized Lenovo dealer)
still shows over 800 days on the warranty. We had the option at purchase
to upgrade the warranty even further.
That's interesting. I wasn't aware of this kind of alternate to the Lenovo
Outlet, i.e. buying a factory-refurbished ThinkPad from an authorized
Lenovo dealer that also offers an extended warranty at the time of
purchase (unlike at the Outlet). Is the warranty from Lenovo? How much did
the extended warranty cost, and does this dealer sell online?
