I have had good results with COSTCO.
In the fall of 2016 I ordered a 2017 BMW X5 50i to my personal specs. It ended up being $548 over dealer cost, way below MSRP. The salesman made a small calculation error in my favor which they honored. That sale was at a convenient dealer COSTCO recommended.
Then in July of 2022 I ordered a 2023 BMW X5 M50i. That was when all the shortages were occurring. Best COSTCO could do was MSRP at two somewhat distant dealers. My convenient dealership wanted $10K over MSRP. I told them I had two other dealers at MSRP and they finally agreed to that price.
These are strange times.
