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).

The 27.5k is a bit high IMO so I do feel they are trying to take advantage of my age in some sense to earn a decent $ off me. It's not a 10 series either. But my concern is that because I have already put a deposit down on the car, and have sat down with the finance manager that I may not have any wiggle room to negotiate a fairer price for the car (I think the max I'd pay is 25k).
The term of financing was either 72 or 84 months; one or the other so you believe that they should be able to come down on the 4.99%?
Also the car has 13,000 km on it or roughly 8,000 miles
