I used Costco to buy a BMW X5 in Newport Beach, CA late in 2016. At that time wealthy Chinese were buying up real estate in the area. Two Chinese speaking salesmen were selling BMWs over the phone to customers in China. It was crazy as the the dealership could have sold at whatever price they wanted to, I imagine. Costco gave me a good price, so much over invoice. My salesman was their internet guy. He made a mistake of a few hundred dollars in my favor and honored that amount. I ordered mine as I wanted a certain color and features.
I think a lot depends on the vehicle and the market conditions. I would go with Costco again. It was a pleasant experience for me, especially compared to past car buying experiences at dealerships.
