[quote=sdduuuude]Even if you like to haggle, at least find out the costco price and use it as a starting point for other dealers.[/quote]
And use edmunds.com and truecar.com to findout dealer holdback and invoice to prepare and identify the current incentives, all of which should still come back to you.
We just bought a mini-van through Costco. Since we had test drove the main competitors the prior few weeks and gotten our ears talked off, the costco deal was worth whatever we didn’t save by haggling just in time and hassle savings.
We stopped in on Sunday of daylight savings day late with our toddler son and spent 45 minutes doing an additional test drive and verifying color choices. We then were showed the prices, the rebates, the financing deal and picked the one we wanted to hold until we came back in the week. We prephoned our information to the dealer and came back at the chosen, 30 minutes to do a final checkover of the car, verify paperwork, sign, and out the door with the new car.
1.9% financing, honda makes first payment, extra incentive $$$ and a price that smoked truecar.com’s ‘great price’.
They made money, we had a pleasant experience and got the car at a price better than I expected. Plus ironically, it’s more American made than the American minivans.
