Just a thought to keep in mind. I have a friend that is a retired car salesman. He sold Toyotas. Since I have USAA I was curious to get his thoughts on their buying program they offer members. He told me that USAA and others, including Costco are good for people that have no idea how to negotiate but a person could get a better price if they negotiated. Another thing he told me that was quite a surprise is they have an agreement with USAA, Costco and others. That agreement is that once you mention one of those programs and they give you the agreed price under the guidelines of that program they can not negotiate with you any further. It then becomes a take-it-or-leave-it deal.
