If the car is a scion you will end up paying more for the car than you would if you could negotiate the price at a toyota dealer.
Exactly. Nissan dealers make 7% profit at invoice price, so Toyota dealers probably make the same if not more. Just look at how cheap Toyota vehicle's interior nowadays.
