I suspect they had a lower price right at the end of the month between Christmas and New years in order to move the car off their books at year end. Now that they're in a new year and early in the month, they probably figure they have a bit more time to sell it.
That being said, a used car is not a fixed-price set of tires at Costco. Make an offer based on what you perceive the value to be. Go slightly lower than what you actually want to pay, know in your head what your max price is, and walk if they don't meet that price.
To your advantage, they've already told you they'd be willing to accept $7995 (which should have profit built into it for them) so offer them $7200 or so and maybe don't go higher than $7400-$7500.
