Costco Auto car buying service

For a lot of buyers, Costco is the ideal place to shop. And yes, you can buy a car, too.

Costco is known for great products, timely selections and top brands at rock-bottom prices. It’s the same with cars. Many people are surprised that you can buy a car through Costco.

Yes, It’s a Good Deal, But There Are Caveats

When you buy a car through the Costco Auto Program you get a pre-arranged, rock bottom price on pretty much any car. However, getting to that deal isn’t always easy.

What You Need to Know: 

  • You must work with Costco’s Auto Program to get the authentic Costco price
  • You do not need to be a Costco member to use this service
  • You will buy your car from an authorized car dealer, not Costco
  • The Costco authorized dealer may not be the closest dealer to you
  • Prices are pre-negotiated by Costco
