In terms of the credit score, I'm pretty sure they have already ran it as I did have to sign off on them running my credit score. I know I have really good credit (800+) so I'm assuming the 4.99% is a decent rate, although perhaps in addition to the total price of the car this could be negotiated also?

If it's used, it can definitely be negotiated. With a price of 27,500, that sounds quite a bit inflated to me. To put it in perspective, my Whiteout FR-S (Which adds $395 for the special color) and a few other add ons totaled up on the sticker at almost 26k even. Unless they're getting you a 10 series in, that price is high.
Also when you buy a new Scion, you get the Scion service boost (Toyota Care in other words). For the first 2 years or 25k miles, all your routine maintenance is free. Oil changes, tire rotations, fluid fill ups etc, plus you get complimentary road side assistance.
If you're definitely going for the used one, check for a fair price on KBB (they are by far the most accurate), and negotiate from there. What is the length of the term you are financing for? 4.99% is still high even if you went 72 months if you're a 800+. Since this car has only been out for a short time, this used one couldn't have a ton of miles on it (the year of the vehicle + the miles on it will determine your rate along with your credit).
