Using my costco membership and getting the Invoice price

falcon

For those that don't know, including myself, what's costco membership got to do with buying a vehicle and getting invoice?

Trekk

X plan maybe? Many big companies get the deal.

When you buy a car through Costco all prices are set. There is no negotitions (sp). In AZ the price is $300 over invoice.

BunnyGirl

I used Costco when I special ordered my car. It was $400 over invoice in Oregon. It saved me around $4000, which was really good since I got my 06 out of the first shipment in March and there weren't any available discounts for them, not even MAC cash. Basically, you get the wholesale price on a car by using Costco, the price is locked in, no negotiations. It's so much easier that way.

Oh Conrgrats on the new car hope ill be there in a bit, and oh how does this Costco method work? can you share a bit more info

BunnyGirl

You either call Costco's number (can find it on their website) or fill out the info. I prefer the phone method as you can be more selective in dealer choice. Otherwise they email you and you basically get whoever they assign. You will get a Costco confirmation and the dealership will contact you about what you want to buy. They have a few certain people that are authorized for Costco sales. These would usually be certain management people such as the internet sales manager, fleet manager, inventory manager. You can then either get something they already have or try to arrange a special order, which is what I did. It made buying the car really easy, except that it took four hours to finalize the paperwork since it was a weekend and they were quite busy and there was a line up. After it was finally my turn it only took about 20 minutes to sign the papers and get my keys.

ShotoKat

Yup, I concur with what BunnyGirl said. Depending on the area where you live, some even paid less than invoice going through costco. It all depends what the true market value is for that area but costco is definitely the way to go....hassle free discount.

Also, any level of costco membership can get you the same deal however only Executive membership gets you discounts on parts and accessories.

I checked the site and there weren't any 2007 models available. What gives?

BunnyGirl

You contact Costco anyway (which is why it is easier over the phone). They will contact a dealer and give you info so one or the other of you can contact each other. They you can tell them you want to special order an 07. That is how I special ordered my 06. I started this process back in October and the dealers didn't have ordering info for 06 yet, just some preallotted 06s assigned to them in the build order, so they changed specs on one of those cars for me to what I wanted to get. I got my car in March, so it took quite awhile. I thought I was going to go crazy waiting. LOL

ShotoKat

They just starting building the 07 models this month. Website will probably not get updated till they get the cars to the dealers.

But you can still special order the 07 through a dealer even if they are not on Mazda's website.

gotdilbert

Oh **** thanks that means I can get a 2007!!! :D

falcon

Hmm, I guess that costco arrangement is for US only and not for Canada.

What am I talking about, I got a new car.

Detrich

if they're still building 07's, then maybe the secret new car mazda's premiering at the la auto show might not be a sports car after all?

JeRKy 8 Owner

Uhh remind me again...why you would buy an 07 when its exactly the same as an 06 except more expensive?

Moostafa29

Congrats on ordering. Now you can get a few mods between now and when you get the car, so when you get it, you can install them asap!

^perfect way to do it

ShotoKat

I'm guessing you are directing this question to me so here it is:

Because I'm not buying any RX-8. I am buying MY RX-8, exactly the way I want color-options-accessories etc. There werent any available in my area for the setup I wanted. If I'm going to spend $35K on a car, I'm gonna get exactly what I want.

BTW, 07 is not more expensive. I got the 06 prices, as a matter of fact its cheaper because they added 6 CD changer standard in the GT.

speeddemon32

yeah so there!


he he anyways, just thought I would throw in my two cents about the Costco membership thing. we bought a Chevy Cobalt a couple months ago for my Fiance to drive everyday (truck was costing a fortune) Costco membership got us $250 over invoice. woot woot!

now we have the RX-8, Tundra, and a Cobalt.... oh yeah and the RX-2.

DARKMAZ8

I wouldn't get an 07 when the 2008's will most likely have some major changes.

Dinhx8

if you buy thru costco does it come shrinked wraped with 40 other rx8s and in a huge shopping cart?
