Bargain or some ting wrong?

Good news is i managed to find a good deal on a 2nd hand audi s4 black model.

It was registered in april 2015 so less than 1 years old with 5k miles on the clock and was up for sale at 26k at an approved audi dealer. Deposit paid - picking up car this weekend.

However, out of curiosity - i found out that the car was up for sale for 34k at the same dealer in October but with 4.6k miles. So in the space of 2 months - the dealer reduced by 8k?

When i initially spoke to the dealer - he mentioend that they have a 45 day inventory policy and once beyond the 45 days - they want to clear it. He confirmed it was hpi clear- no accidents - 1 owner from new etc and is immaculate. He said no discounts as he is losing mahoosively on this.

Question is - does this sound possible or maybe something happened in the last 2 months?

Cheers!!!

I'm doing exactly that - running very quickly to the dealer to bite his hand.

yes - its main approved dealer with many shops around uk - they won't even deliver the car to a closer dealer for me to test - said car is losing them too much money already. can't spend another 500gbp sending it to another shop..Also, wasn't too keen to do the deal - had me chasing him to put a deposit down instead of other way round.

just seems odd since if you search autotrader or audi approved - around the 26k mark - you mainly get 2-3yr old cars with around 20k miles. not less than 1 yr old and less than 5k miles.

Fingers cross then - if it falls apart - atleast its covered under warranty...
