My sticker was something like $26,350 and I paid $23,800 (right around invoice) before the tax/title. Roughly 10% off sticker price. I got them to double the military discount, they gave me a $500 financing discount, I had them give me $500 check, I had them reduce the cost of the dealer add-ons, they dropped the destination charge, ect. They can play the "pure price" of the car to a point. But there's no limit on discounts and cash back or whatever arbitrary numbers game you play.
The salesman will try to convince you that they can't tweak the pure price AND they just don't have any "room" to make money on Scions. Haggle back at them: tell them to give you a $750 helluvaguy discount and a $500 Mothers Day discount. It doesn't affect the "pure price". Tell them you have a budget for $365 a month total payment and you don't have any "room" in your budget either.
Call a few dealers. Email them too. Don't even go to the lot until you have somebody calling you back every hour with a new deal. Most people buy a car within 30 minutes. I didn't buy for a week, and when I walked onto the lot, I bought a car with more options than the barebones one I was negotiating for. I think I was offered $22,900 for a barebones no options FR-S 6MT on the phone before I even went to that dealership.
