Do you think this is a good deal?
Hi, so I have found a used 2015 Audi A3 2.0 TDI Premium Plus with 57,116 miles on it. It’s got no dings or scratches, at least not on the pictures, I know I need to take a look in person because last time the car I had my eyes on had a big scratch on the door dash and the dealer did not even take a photo of it. But anyways, Carfax records looks good. Previous owner did a ton of inspections and maintenance, no accidents and all that. The dealer is pricing it at $17,999.
Do you think this is a good deal? I know the car had more than average miles on it and the leather did look kind of wrinkled. I think just by this they should take a couple grand off but now a lot of dealers are refusing to negotiate so that’s on them. I’m just asking if people think this is good enough of a deal then even if they aren’t willing to negotiate that’s ok I guess. But I still think it’s a little overpriced. What do you think? And please don’t give me the kbb numbers...

I don't know why you're thinking you'll a lot of helpful responses on a post like this. As if existing A3 owners would give you a better thumbs up, down or sideways? There's no special insight an A3 owner would have on this.
Your main guide to resale value is past sales in your area. Btw, if the driver's seat has deep wrinkles in the leather and shows a lot of wear, for a 3 year old car... that's not a good sign. Given nearly 20k miles per year for past 3 years, it could very well mean a lot of local miles were logged. Daily driver to work. So you better make sure to thoroughly check the brakes and tires. If it were me, I'd pass on this one. For a 3 year old car, I'd want something closer to 40k miles.
