Looks like the Honda dealer is well under CPO prices for a car with 18000 miles.
There are only a few under 30 with that kind of mileage... although there are also not many that have nearly no options.
The trick is, you could get an off-lease CPO 3-series with ~30,000 miles and it would have a far superior warranty to a non-CPO with 18,000 miles.
A 2010 with 18,000 miles has less than a year remaining of the factory warranty, then you're done.
A CPO 2011 with 30,000 miles has an extra year of factory warranty and when that expires, the CPO warranty begins, which puts you out another 4 or 5 years and 100,000 miles.
Yep, I get that. I mean "under 30" as in under $30,000.00.
A few examples of CPO
Certified 2010 BMW 328i xDrive (Lot of x-drives, looks like same wheels)
(22 days left)
Price: $28,900
Sedan17,529 Miles
(Cleveland)
Certified 2011 BMW 328i xDrive
(22 days left)
Price: $31,000
Sedan17,549 Miles
(Boardman OH)
Certified 2011 BMW 328i
(22 days left)
Price: $32,900
Sedan18,387 Miles
(Farmington hills, MI)
Certified 2011 BMW 328i
(22 days left)
Price: $28,997
Sedan21,242 Miles
(Dayton OH)
Certified 2011 BMW 328i
(22 days left)
Price: $28,997
Sedan24,705 Miles
(Dayton OH)
I am not sure how negotiable the prices would be, but my (dated) experience around here is not very, perhaps that is not always the case though.
I found very few 2011 with 30,000 (most were older) but they were similarly priced.
Certified 2011 BMW 328i

Price: $29,784
Sedan31,668 Miles
(Dublin OH)
So a CPO is about $4-5000.00 more than the non-CPO, which is what about 20% depending on how the numbers work out. Only the purchaser can decide it that is money well spent or not, having bought some BMW parts and having little time to actually make a repair should it need one, the CPO would definitely be worth it to me.
I also think $1500.00 is light for a set of quality wheels and 18" tires.
Incidentally the 2011 in Farmington Hills looks like a real nice car, but it is $9000.00 more. It does have nice wheels...
