Even if you’re a Costco member, you might not know much about the Costco Auto program. We think of Costco as a place to buy things in bulk, like toilet paper and double-sized jars of peanut butter, as well as exclusives on premium products like Dyson vacuums, LG widescreen TVs and Jura espresso makers.

Just as the company negotiates rock bottom prices on those things, Costco also strikes best-deal pricing on cars. Imagine not having to negotiate the price. Not having to deal with a pushy salesman. Getting a transparent deal. That’s how the Costco Auto Program works, and it’s also what we heard from people who have used the program. Here’s how it works, and what you need to know.

This story is 100% human researched and written based on actual first-person knowledge, extensive experience and expertise on the subject of cars and trucks. No AI was used.
