They wouldn't budge from this number, and they explained that there is going to be a MAJOR push to clean out the inventories of 2010 Yarisses, and with those huge discounts coming up, they could not allow me what they otherwise would be able to allow me.

The guy said that they are going to soon be selling the 2010s for 2% UNDER invoice, and Toyota was going to kick in $750 to reduce the price even more. He said there is a styling change coming up on the 2011s, and they don't want too many 2010s left by that time.

Hope this information helps some folks.

Most dealers don't keep many Yaris's (or any) in stock anyways. I have several dealers in my area and rarely do I see a Yaris on the lot. So Toyota's "Major Push" can probably be done with one finger.

They have quite a few at the dealership where I was attempting to buy the Corolla, which is the same dealership where I bought the Yaris. The salesman said he is afraid that they overbought on the 2010s and might have a hard time getting all of them sold.
