While those transactions were being final-
ized, Lisa started researching buying a new
car. She had picked up a brochure at Costco
about the Costco Auto Program, and had
heard from a friend how “very painless” a
car purchase had been through CAP.
Internet research ultimately convinced
her that the Honda CR-V was the best fit for
her needs. (Note: Lisa didn’t realize she could
have done all her research on the robust
CAP website.)
When she completed the sale of the sec-
ond vehicle, she found herself stranded with-
out a way home, but, coincidentally, directly
across the street was the Honda dealer that
CAP had referred her to the day before.
With a handful of cash from the sale, she
marched across the street and met with the
designated contact at the dealership. She
was shown the standard price for the car
she wanted, and then the Costco pricing. She
knew it was a good deal from the research
she had done.
“I saved a couple of thousand [dollars],
the way I figure it,” Lisa says. “I don’t know
that car buying could be made any easier. I
have a beautiful new Honda CR-V thanks to
the ease of the Costco Auto Program.”
But her story doesn’t end there. When
she returned home driving the new car, two
of her neighbors were so wowed by the car
and no-haggle deal that they too called CAP,
and both purchased new Hondas. That’s a
great measure of Lisa’s satisfaction.
CAP provides Costco members pre-
arranged, no-haggle pricing, a network of
quality dealerships across the country and
loads of online tools for researching. Get

or go to Costco.com and search for “cap11.”
MEMBER FEEDBACK
Auto buying
made simple
MEDIA BAKERY
COSTCO MEMBER Lisa Eidson of Leavenworth,
Washington, didn’t set out to buy a new car, but
circumstances led to the Costco Auto Program
(CAP) being her solution.
She and her husband, Tom, found themselves with too many vehicles when their two
cars and a truck were joined by a company
car that came with Tom’s new job.
Lisa set out to consolidate. She advertized
the two older cars for sale on Craigslist.org and
planned to keep the one that didn’t sell, but both
cars sold within 12 hours of being listed.
