Certified is meaningless, its not worth or any better than a $50 car fax report.
If you really want the car a fair deal is half way between trade in and retail, most of the time you should be able to buy the car at about $500 above the trade in price.
Go back to the dealer and explain that the 2012 will be 1 yr. old shortly and all odds are no one is going to come in and buy it before the first of the yr.
When you go back make sure that you insist on only dealing with the sales manager, as the salesman is only his flunky and really wasting your time.
