If you bank with a credit union, check with them on extended warranties. They are less expensive and more reliable. They can wrap the cost of the warranty into you car loan. I added one to the last two cars that I purchase and was able to get no deductible full coverage to 100k miles for less than half what Nissan wanted. I have not used the coverage on the Z, but my altima had multiple claims over $4k paid out without any hassle or cost to me.

I'm just saying, focus on getting the car you want instead of whether or not it's CPO. Focus more on miles and overall care and condition of the car. I'd even put color ahead of warranty. $30-31K seems like a realistic price point, but you will probably have to negotiate to get it.
