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.

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.

It doesn't work that way. They won't give every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes in off the street that deal. If they did, they would not be in business.

In order to get a great deal, you will have to work for it. Time invested on both sides means there is someting to lose on both ends and something to gain. Both parties are now vested.
