You can buy a _New_ loaded 1.8tq manual for $26,500.  I didn't see you list
Automatic transmission, so if it is a manual, I'd go with the 1.8 new.
Order it, now get it in about 2 months.  If you can wait.  A fair price on
this used A4 is probably around $25,500.  The Dealer should be able to give
you that price.  Just be willing to walk out, this is when the salesperson
will begin to weaken.

P.S. when I sold cars this past summer, our "Asking price" for used cars was
about 2500-3000 more than what we paid.  We would usually sell for 1000-1500
more than what we had in the car.  So if their undiscounted asking price was
26900, 25500 is fair.
