Two days later, our Suburban had arrived and was detailed for us. We took it for a test drive, then finalized the deal. I drove home with a smile; I loved my new car and the process actually felt good! I was confident that we had truly found a partner in our car purchase and service relationship.

Customer reviews also reveal further drawbacks to the Costco auto buying program. For example, buyers reported experiencing a barrage of sales calls and emails after registering interest in a vehicle.
Some stated the calls continued after a purchase has been made or after the buyer states that they are no longer interested in the service. Others report that their contact information made it into the hands of dealers and salespeople that they did not expect, such as an inquiry for a Toyota vehicle netting calls from other brands. Some said that the no-haggle policy didn't live up to the promise and that dealerships disregard the pricing that Costco provided in favor of their own, which is typically higher.
Some customers trade in their old vehicles for a credit toward their new car, making the final price even lower.

Even certified used vehicles can have issues that escape the watchful eye of a dealer's service center.
