Default Buying a Scion tC through Costco?

Anyone try this? you actually get a good amount of discount, about 800-1200 dollars, maybe more. Depends on how much you add on. But i'm not quite sure what

GS/NATL/SE mean, it sorta means trim levels but after clicking through you can still add your options, SE seems a bit more than the other two.

This seems like a pretty good way to good, saving a bit of money. Just giving you guys a heads up. I know Costco is a great company to go with, they always give you free service etc when buying tires from them

I wonder how the experience will be.

That's kind of interesting. But I wonder how convenient it would be for servicing and extended warranties. I might have looked into this had I not already have ordered through a dealer...

Anybody have more details?

your waranty can be covered by any dealership, most dealers want your warranty business, thier parent company they are franchised by pays them..........so its like free money.

let me just say it can NOT be done with the Scions.
i work at costco and talked both with my Corporate office and Toyota/Scion. because the Scion TC is "PURE PRICED"
scion and costco came to an agreement that costco can have no price alteration for Members on Scion Pure Priced cars.

I tried, but Costco only deal w/ some Toyota and Lexus dealership, not the Scion dealship within. What part of "pure pricing" don't you understand?

"pure priced" simply means that a customer pays the posted price- not MSRP.

A dealer can charge more OR less then MSRP, but it must be posted for everyone to recieve....


Now, with Costco- thier website shows it available to buy- anyone eles bought one with them?

all that really matters is that you can not buy a Scion through Costco, but you can insure it, get new tires, oil changes, AND pick up a polish sausage and a coke for $1.50.

I'm with UnFocused (thanks for bringing back my hopes ), i've seen stories of dealers marking up their own scions and it was spread wide. and i've seen some local dealers doing this as well

someone needs to confirm!
