Default Strange idle rpm

Hello,

looking to buy a 2021 Mazda 6 2.0 skyactive

after the test drive I noticed that the rpm will rise and falll every few seconds when idle. This is only with the AC on.

dealer says it’s normal when the engine is warm, could somebody confirm? (Video attached)

Welcome to the forum
Generally, that response would be based on that short video that is normal, but a wise person would have the ECU scanned in at least the 3 main areas to confirm no issues present. Just because the check engine light is not activated does not mean there is not a complete all greed in the ECU.
