Hello All,
Purchased an Orchid White EX last weekend 3/29/19
I first checked out Edmunds and got an Edmunds Price Guarantee from two dealers.
The lesser of the two was $22,484, but it was for a specific Stock# & Vin#
Total MSRP $24,955 (which included $920 Destination Fee)
Edmunds Savings = -$2,551
Vehicle Price = $22,404
Dealer Documentation Fee = $80
Total Price $22,484 PLUS Tax/License
I then checked the Costco Auto Program https://www.costcoauto.com/
They don't send you a price, but refer you to the dealer that's part of their program. In my area there was ONLY one dealer who works with Costco. Below are the instructions Costco sends you.
Visit & Select
Meet with the Authorized Contact at the dealership and show your Costco membership card. Have the Authorized Dealer Contact help you select a vehicle.
View & Save
View the special Costco Member-Only Price Sheet, which shows your exclusive prearranged Costco member savings. Remember, you are entitled to applicable manufacturer rebates and incentives or special financing.
The vehicle you select may have an "Addendum Sticker" (displayed next to the MSRP/Window Sticker) listing additional dealer-installed items, such as window tinting, VIN etching, pin striping, etc. Costco members receive a 15% discount off the price listed for these items. These items are optional. If you prefer a vehicle without these items and they are not easily removable, please ask your Authorized Contact at the Costco dealership to review your options for acquiring an alternative vehicle, such as a factory order or dealer trade.
The Dealer Invoice shown was $23,362.33 (includes Destination Fee)
Special Costco pricing was -$400 off the invoice, so $22,962.33
The Dealer Incentive was -$500 off the invoice, so $22,462.33 (if purchased before 4/1/19)
Add the Dealer Doc Fee $85 = $22,547.33
I just asked my sales guy to match the Edmunds Price of $22,484 and he did no problem.
I live is California so our sales tax is 8.5%
My total price OTD was $24,576.23 with Wheel Locks & Door and Fender Edge Guards
I know some of you have gotten better pricing and more extras, but I enjoyed the NO HAGGLE, NO PRESSURE atmosphere. I use to sell cars and I know as long as you can get a car OTD either AT MSRP or BELOW MSRP (including all the extras) it's a decent deal. Besides, even before I committed to the car the Costco sales guy spent over an hour going over all the features and through every single setting on the steering wheel as well as all through infotainment center.
Another benefit to going through the Costco Auto Program is the following.
Complete a satisfaction survey after your purchase for additional savings
If you purchase a new or select pre-owned vehicle, complete a Costco Auto Program member satisfaction survey within 30 days to receive a 50% off coupon** – good toward parts, service and accessories at the dealership where the vehicle was purchased.

Saw the postings of swapping out the interior light bulbs to LED's and got mine through Amazon. Not bad to get it all done for just $22

Going to use my 50% off coupon for All Season Floor Mats, Trunk Tray, Splash Guards and whatever else that adds up to the $200 in savings.
