Recommend using Costco EZ2Buy program. I received a Costco "no haggle" price over the phone, which other dealers wouldn't match. Even though Costco says it is a "no haggle" price, the dealer was still willing to negotiate. Negotiations at dealership took about 1 hr. I showed them a print out of prices paid by www.realcartips.com to save a few hundred more dollars. Dealer probably would have gone a few hundred lower if I would have taken the last LX they had in stock, which was white.
In hindsight, I would have been more careful when showing dealer a list of prices paid posted on forums like this. The lowest I saw on line was $20,500 for a LX in Lisle, Illinois. The dealer, however, said that he couldn't match this price because there are variations in price across the country due to local demand and color preference. Once I showed him the price list as my final negotiating tactic, he could justify the price difference pretty easily. |
| Pros: | Got "no haggle" Costco price over the phone and they were still willing to negotiate the price.
Negotiations at the dealer only took about an hour, and the dealer stayed focused on the out the door price without shifting numbers around. |
| Cons: | Paper work took a couple of hours. Also, low inventory and had to wait until next business day so car could be transferred from Northern Virginia. |
| Trade-In: | None
