Hi! This is going to be my first car so i really appreciate some advice on the deal i am getting.

$37k is a good deal for CPO.

I would also add, I'm guessing the dealer is going to be eager to move this car. At 48k miles, it is on the higher end of what I think most buyers will accept mileage wise for a CPO car and my guess is once it crosses 50k miles, it is going to lose another chunk of value.
