Found a few Q7s on flea-bay for ~430USD shipped. Are we seeing a price drop this fast, or did these "fall" off a truck?

Looks like these are from Japan- they're cheaper there.

I assumed they were the same price (adjusted for conversion). All the other japanese Q7s still go for 5-600, so I guess I was a bit surprised.

Don't forget there was the Oprah Special that dropped it to $399. Not sure if the offer expired already. I think we'll see steeper drops as we get closer to Christmas.

The Q7 OPRAH code is good through October 31, I believe. Body only is $383.96 with the Discount Code applied, plus $12 and change shipping.
