My takeaway is that you did not address the
"Invisible" Dealer Profits discussed in the Edmunds link.

I worked for Verizon Wireless for a time and paid about 50% of what a consumer pays for service and sometimes even less for equipment.

Do you think as a Verizon employee you bought time at a lower rate than the company sells in bulk to resellers, such as Page Plus Cellular?
The only item really in question is the accuracy of the Truecar dealer cost numbers for Scion. I brought up Toyota employee pricing simply because it supports the idea that Scion dealer cost could plausibly be hundreds of dollars below invoice. Based on some of the advertised prices I've seen on other Scion models from KC and OKC dealers, I have a hard time believing that Scion dealer cost is actually invoice, but the Truecar dealer cost would appear reasonable.
