I saw this posted on a site that I frequent: www.slickdeals.net, thought I'd share it...I'm not the one who actually took advantage of this offer, but just thought I'd share this post, b/c it looked interesting...Not sure of the validity of it or not...Can anyone from Toyota confirm this?

Employee Discount on Toyota! (Unadvertised & YMMV)
I was in the market for a new car and found out through a friend who works for Toyota that they are having an unadvertised promotion were you can buy a Toyota at employee discount rates. The way it works is they notify select customers via mail or phone and give them an eligibility code. They then track eligible customers in a national database that a dealer references to ensure eligibility. I think the offer is only given to existing Toyota owners, but I'm not sure on that.
Toyota Employee Discount = 1.25% over invoice on all models (not sure about Scion). There is also $500 customer cash back for my region. Some regions are $1000 while others are $0. Check Edmunds.com for details.
Anyway, I've never owned a Toyota before and wasn't contacted to participate, but when has that ever stopped a SDer? Here's what I did. I simply went to the dealership and test drove the one I was interested in. Afterwards I told the sales rep I liked it, but I wasn't sure if I liked it better than the Honda I drove earlier that day (actually did test drive a Honda). I told him the only thing making me lean towards the Toyota was the unadvertised employee discount rate. He had just found out about that incentive that morning so he didn't know how to respond. 2 minutes later I was talking to the GM who said, "Great, you're our first customer to take advantage of this offer." He asked if I had my "invite code". I told him "no", and that I was contacted on the phone about it (my friend told me about this on the phone ). He said
