Best I was able to negotiate in South Florida. Satisfied with the deal. Dealer did mark up the acquisition fee to $995 (all dealers down here do!). Volvo is also taking care of the last (6) Lexus GS 350 payments @ 450/month for a total of $2700. Will also get a $200 Gift Card from Costco.
Did you go through the Costco auto program or did you negotiate the selling price on your own or beyond the Costco price and just show them that you were a Costco member to get the additional money off?
Personally, I signed up through the Costco Auto Program using the zip code of the dealer where I had located the car I was interested in so that specific dealer would be assigned and contact me. However, from communicating with a few others dealers, I gathered they could also apply the Costco incentive as long as I was a Costco member.
Negotiated the selling price beyond the Costco A-Pricing, which I understand is essentially invoice.
