I wouldn't let service department rule the decision on where you actually buy. Sales departments are completely separate entity, although dealerships would like you to believe otherwise. I'd call a few that you know have them in stock, then do some homework online. Find out the sticker price, and don't pay anything over sticker. Tell your salesman you are looking for an Out-The-Door (OTD) price of $_______ and stick to that. All dealers in this region (SET) will have what they call standard fees, in fact they are already pre-printed on the sales forms. That doesn't mean anything but that they guarantee that much profit ($400-1200, typically) by making you feel it's a moot point. That's why you go for the OTD price, not sticker+fees+handling+etc... They will tell you over the phone that they guarantee sticker price, but when you show up they really mean that they will charge you sticker plus the "standard fees". If he says, he can't do anything with the fees, then make him take it out of the sticker price or give you some of the options at a discounted rate. I was only able to negotiate that "fee" down from $1100 to $400 on mine. So technically, I paid $400 over sticker price.

The only difficult point for you is that you want the TT edition, which is a limited run = high demand vehicle. This will certainly take some of your leverage away from you, but I bet it will be loaded with options that you may be able to negotiate on. For instance, you could say that you really only want it because of the color, thus negating your "interest" in the other options installed. You may get him to uninstall some of the port-installed features like upgraded wheels, tire cover, roof rack & sliders---if you don't really want them.

good luck!

[additional notes:]
I bought mine at Sandy Spring Toy and get it serviced at Atlanta Toy
None of them know anything about this truck, just accept that you know more about the features than they do.
I've found decent service departments at Atlanta Toyota and Roswell Toyota.
You might be able to track VIN numbers through Toyota's website. Try the build your own FJ method and then choose dealers in your area. It may turn up partial or full VINs. If it's a full VIN then it usually means that a deposit has been paid on it. If its a partial then it is "unclaimed' stock and you should be able to track which dealer it is headed towards.
