Cut out the stealership altogether. They know the least about the used vehicles on the lot (since they weren't the ones driving them). CPO is meaningless for a car already under the original warranty period, because CPO is an additional warranty, that's what you're paying extra for.

New cars are never as nice as what can be afforded buying used. I had a GF once that bought 2 brand new Chevy Aveo's within 2 years (she traded the "old" one in for the new one because it was a color she liked better). She could have been driving a 3 year old Acura or Lexus for that kind of money, and it would have still been under warranty.

Your income is too low to be buying things for others, especially when they already have reliable transportation.

Rich people live as though they are poor, and poor people live as though they are rich.
