Costco Auto Buying Service on a 3rd Gen?

Mine was $38,399 MSRP with Costco's price at $36,640 ($1759 off MSRP). With License and registration fees it was right at $37K.

 

So they probably want $1250 for pinstriping and nitrogen or some other BS? Is it any wonder everyone hates car dealers?

 

You know it!

 

"I can share details with Costco price sheet when you can come by.
It is based on $500 over invoice and $500 additional special order charge from head quarter."

oddly, i was told from a non-Costco dealer that I could get into the same truck for under $37,000 (not including TTL)

 

The special order charge concerns me. Is there TDA on top of of that? Docs fees?

 

Not sure...gonna call another dealer in another city that participates and see what they say.

 

I bought mine through a dealer in MA that participates with Costco. It was within $200 of invoice (I think it was actually right at invoice) plus $500 TDA, their doc fees and I also paid a $300 location fee because I didn't feel like waiting until they were allocated what I was looking for.

 

Not bad deal at all.

 

What dealer was this?

 

Lia of Wilbraham. Great experience. Costco settles the price and the people were super helpful/knowledgeable and not in the least bit pushy with unwanted BS. I'll definitely be going there again when my wife is due for a new car, well worth the drive.

 

That's actually one of the closest dealers to me. It might be worth the Costco membership just for that. How's it work with trade ins?

 

I've contacted 5 dealers thru Costco. All of them wanted me to come in and present my Costco card before giving out a price. Is this the case for everyone?

 

For the two I found in SoCal that even offered it, they wouldn't give any numbers over the phone or via email.

 

Same as always, since the price is already known it's its own separate part of the deal as it should be

 

I was emailed the spec sheets as well as msrp, and what the Costco price would be

 

If you go, could you report back?

 

Y'all saw my numbers. Gonna call back another dealer tomorrow.

For what it's worth - local dealer matched without haggling.

 

Heard back from Earnhardt Toyota. Told them I am an out-of-state buyer. Costco Fleet for is $34,123, MSRP $35,489. TRD Off Road 4x4, DCSB, auto, tow package, and carpet/door sill.

I might be ordering from a guy in Merced, I believe his name is Greg. $250 above invoice.

 

R u in nevada? Heard auburn ca is 250 below invoice

 

I actually ended up finding one a short drive away through the AMEX True Car website. Ended up getting roughly $1,100 below MSRP and $1,100 above invoice before TTL. Not the best deal, but it was the best I came across after over a month of looking.
