Default Costco Auto, Use it to Save $$ When buying a New Car.

Im sorry to repeat it if you guys already know but, if you're a costco warehouse member then you can get access to www.costcoauto.com and you choose your car and they direct you to a dealership that will take a good price off of the MSRP. For instance they have a GS300 AWD thats MSRP is $45,795 and they reduced it to $40,383. Its pretty neat and saves you money.

Sorry if i'm not allowed to post url's in posts but I just wanted many more people to know this because who doesnt want to save money.

CostCo will help you get a pretty good price. It is usually not the absolute lowest you can get but it will be low without a lot of haggling back and forth.

Would it be safe to say that you could use this to find a starting price to work over your local dealer… er, work with your local dealer to try and get the lowest price?

Wow, thats a really good chunk off that MSRP on the GS. How much is costco membership per year?

They recently raised the fee from $45 to $50. What a deal breaker!

it's typically $500 - $700 over invoice. that's if the dealer is participating, and it's not a HOT seller.
