OP, I would highly suggest that if you live in a region where negotiating on a Scion is allowed, then you need to order one off the truck.

Sure, it's going to be at a higher price, but there are more important things to consider.

Of course as we all know they've marked it down because it's advertised as being a MY older. You said it's one you've kept your eye on, so how long has that vehicle been on the lot?

There's a few things you should take a look at:

1. More so than not, the vehicles we have that set on our lot will develop a flat spot in the tires where they set for so long that we have discounted. If it sits for too long without being moved, that could potentially become permanent.

2. How many people have passed by that car, rubbing up against it taking a look at it? There's a good chance you could find a few scratches, or maybe even a dent depending on any type of lot damage it receives by just sitting there.

3. Even with a good discounted price, you're still buying a vehicle that's a year old. Let's say you decided to sell your 2014 with 3k miles on it. Even though you got a lower price on the 2014 upfront, a 2015 with the same amount of miles will bring a higher dollar amount, just because it's a MY newer. After you look at the resale of your car compared to one that's a MY newer, at any point in time, how much money are you actually saving?

As patient as you seem to be on waiting for the right deal/car, just order you one.

Edit: Just for shits and giggles, I did some NADA pricing for my region. Trade in for both with identical equipment, both with 3k miles.
