Default Anyone buy a car using the Costco Auto Program?

As the title states, have any of you guys bought a new car using the Costco Auto Program? I've read online that you can save hundreds to thousands. I'll be happy if I can by my next daily car for hundreds above invoice price.

Please post your thoughts and experiences.

Costco is good if you don't want to haggle, but better deals can be had if you do your homework.

have you tried emailing the dealerships directly? that works as well. sometimes you can get a better price than costco.

I agree. Costco is great for people who don't want to haggle or lack the ability to negotiate price (i.e. old people, rich asian women). At least you are not paying for MSRP.

With the economy turning to sh*t, I'm 100% sure you can get better pricing. Google "Rizzo Method"

No haven't e-mailed any dealerships yet. I'm just in the "looking to buy" phase right now.

Haven't made up my mind if i want to buy used or new.
