My wife and I love Costco. Where else can I buy 50 pounds of pancake mix for 4.99? I see they sell cars, but I don't know of anyone who has bought one from them. Has anyone here done that? Considered it?
I usually just go through one of the internet car buying places and go from there. Thought Costco might be worth a shot though.

Same story.....
I bought in March and Costco was not able to help. If I wanted an RX, I could have had it for cheap......

Costco Prices are set by the DEALER. We decide what amount off MSRP or over Invoice through Costco. So they'll all be different and they can exclude them too. We do it all the time. It's advertisement.

Since you are in So Cal, where did you order yours? I'm in OC, but $2,500 is $2,500!

I picked up my car May 15. I tried to use Costco since I had success with them when buying my wifes car, But got a much better deal through Sam's Club. $3300 off sticker.

If it had turned out that I didn't get as good of deal as Costco, and I went through Costco, they would have refunded me the difference. The Costco customer service preson, said Costco take the program very seriously. When a dealer registers with the program they are obligated to abide by Costco guidelines. Dealers get a lot of business via the Costco program, and they need to honor their end of agreement.
