Thanks same for me in Chicago. I tried entering in a different zip code (seattle) and it came back with a dealership. My question is do you have to live near the dealership to get the costco deal?

What the....we def have Costco out by us and my SIL and BIL love it, everything is from Costco for them grocery and most other things wise and I really like the company myself as well. I've never heard of this program before and I wonder if they did or didn't too. Glad I found this thread.

It’s actually a vehicle buying service from Costco, they don’t actually sell the vehicle. You can buy from any Costco dealer you can find nationwide. you are not limited geographically. What you are limited to is finding a dealer that participates. There aren’t many out there participating for Genesis. But, I was recently shopping for a Toyota Camry XSE in MD where it seems like all the dealers are adding a $4995 market adjustment. I found a Costco dealer locally that would sell me one $1100 under MSRP with no market adjustment. So, finding a Costco dealer can be lucrative on certain vehicles. In the old days (pre pandemic) you could even negotiate the Costco price. With inventory being so limited on all vehicle those kind of deals have disappeared. Here’s a link I used just last night Costco Auto Program │ Car buying made easy │ New vehicles & more! The price of a Costco membership can be returned by 1000’s in savings. I’ve bought three vehicles over the years using this program and it most definitely works.

These days, there are essentially no dealers participating in the Costco auto program. They don't have to, because they are making a killing on these market-adjusted deals, and the whole point of the Costco program is preset pricing. I was considering several cars (BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Genesis, Acura, etc.) when I decided to buy my G70, but none of those makes had any participating dealers that I could find. Although I negotiated a deal likely better than what I would have obtained through Costco's pricing anyway... you just have to work hard and play dealers off each other to get the best deal possible. Even in this ridiculous market, they still need to sell cars in order to make commissions, so you can still negotiate a deal.
