The manager flat told us that if we won't buy at MSRP someone else will. Sadly she's right. Can anyone in the Houston, Dallas, San Antonio areas tell me if any of the lots around there are any better? We really want one of these vehicles, but I'm not paying MSRP. Thanks in advance guys!

My two cents:
I don't know specifics in your area but I would use fitzmall.com prices ($400-500 over dealer invoice) as a lever when I contact all the dealers within 50 miles by email or fax. Contact the internet sales managers and ask for their best price on the exact vehicle (color, interior, options) that you want.
Sell your existing vehicle yourself.
Be prepared to go out of the SE Toyota area (maybe in conjunction with a vacation) to avoid their extra admin charges and useless mandatory add on options. More than one person from Texas has flown to the NE and driven a new Camry home that they could not get at any price in their home area.

Hope that helps.
