With costco, you go to the web site, enter your member number, enter the car you want and it emails you the name of a fleet rep at a local dealer. The fleet reps are simple, straightforward people. I’ve dealt with three and in every case, they weren’t into B.S. They are a little rushed cuz they are busy people, but they aren’t pushing for a sale and kind of give you a “here’s the deal, take it or leave it” approach.
The fleet rep shows you his invoice. The price you pay is invoice plus or minux X, where X varies, depending on the year and model.
You can get service at a dealer other than the one you use for the purchase.
Even if you buy a car at Mossy, avoid their service. My wife always complained about their high-pressure, fear-based, commission-paid sales team. I thought she was just being a girl, then a dude tried to convince me that my brakes were metal-to-metal in order to sell me a brake job. I said I would do it later and he got mad, told me it was unsafe, blah, blah. I took it to Beeline and they said I had 10% left.
