Subject: Re: Car Purchasing Question
I wanted to buy our ID4 from Costco, but it wasn't available through them. At least not at the time. The car before that we spent half a day of "I'll have to get my manager to approve this deal". Hated it. Just tell me the price, and I can make my decision. I bought my second car (Saturn) that way, and it was great. In and out in a couple of hours. Our third car was bought via the credit union, which enabled us to go through the fleet department. Again, no haggling. Here's the price, sign on the line.**
If Costco offers that sort of hassle-free environment, and has the vehicle I want, I would definitely go through them. I don't know for a fact, but I suspect they also go through the fleet department.
**The only wrinkle was someone came in and said "do you want an undercoating for $X". We said "no", and they went away.
