Really hate dealing with car dealerships!
Simple solution:
Find the car you want.
Figure out the lowest reasonable price on it. (invoice + 500-1000 dollars)
Walk into the dealership, tell them the car you want, the price you are willing to pay, why that is the max you will pay (because you did your research) and ask them if they would rather make the commission or have the dealer across town make it.
Step 3: profit.

That is basically what I said when I emailed them.
Any idea where to find invoice price?

Good advice.
Be sure to deduct rebates from Toyota to the Invoice price. A 2012 model probably has (or will very soon) have some incentive to move before the 2013 model is out.

That's the simplest method for someone who isn't well-versed in the art of negotiation.
I would not ever-EVER-walk in someplace & immediately quote them a figure on what I'm willing to pay for a negotiable commodity.
But I cannot begin to describe how much I love to haggle with people, either.
