So the selling price is okay, a little bit below the TMV "average". Those numbers include the $885 destination.
You are in the Southeast Toyota distribution area, which apparently is where that crazy $700 dealer service fee is coming from. With that fee, you're back in so-so deal territory.
Okay, on to your trade. Edmunds has trade-in values for used cars, and appraising yours (in "clean" condition), I come up with $11,957. But I don't know what the UV means, so I used the base 4 speed automatic with your options.
I'd try to get that service fee whacked. Likely the best way to do that is to negotiate the $16,218.99 number down, maybe counter with $ 15,218.99 and go from there. Focusing on that "out the door" number keeps you from having to negotiate every other number.
Checking prices up in Chattanooga just to get an idea of what dealers outside of SET are doing, I'm getting a TMV around $26,000. Kind of odd since there's a $1,000 invoice showing there, but not in Florida. So take a road trip and save about $1,100.
