Don't know if it's true. That's just what he told me.

This.
I have a friend who happened to do a stint as a Toyota/Scion GM and this is exactly what he told me. Apparently they do regular audits, and if they catch a markdown like this - they will get punished rather severely by Scion.
Will some dealers take the risk? Sure.
However, they can still mark down the price! How? They simply have to mark down every other car of that model on their lot by the same exact amount.
