Just How Does The Costco Auto Program Work — And Is It Worth It?

There are no Costco car lots – not yet anyway. Instead, Costco partners with local dealerships to set competitive prices through their Costco Auto Program. To use Costco Auto Program, all you have to do is purchase a yearly membership at the store. At roughly $60 annually, the membership pays for itself in the long run. Especially if you choose to purchase a vehicle through Costco — not to mention the bulk deals on toilet paper.

No haggling is involved and Costco often partners with manufacturers to grab special pricing on vehicles.
