If you are willing to drive a couple of hours to Auburn I think you can get a decent price, especially close to "the end of the month". If you want to see what these guys have, there is an inventory list on their website:
Magnussen's Auburn Toyota | Auburn | Folsom | Sacramento . I'm not sure how up to date the on-line inventory is. They may have more than what's on line. Yesterday they had at least 10 on the lot.
I have no idea how they are to deal with as a cold call. I got a great deal (embarrassed to divulge) and a friend in Fresno is going to have them locate a TRD next week. He'll get a good price too based on what I was told.
I'm not sure how these folks are treating "walk-on" customers with the FJs, as my situation is a bit easier there. I just pay the same amount over invoice for all my cars there.
There is a "dealer holdback" on these vehicles, but it's not likely that the dealer will forfeit that. Also, there's a $400 college student incentive at this time, if that helps.
The general sales manager there is David Harrison and a very nice guy. You could call him and just ask him if he'd like to make the drive worth your while. He's the kind of guy that responds best to "the nice guy approach" IMO ('cuz he's a nice guy). If he wanted to work with you (I'm sure that he would in some form) he'd still have a salesman do the deal with you, he'd not do all of it himself. He'd just set the thing up for you.
