Costco is the #2 car retailer in the U.S.A

I've seen the cars sitting out in front of my local Costco when I go in to get a rotisserie chicken, milk and eggs before, but I had no idea they moved so many of them.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

you're not going to fit those 14 pallets of Funions, Baked Lays, Hummus and Diet Coke into a sedan, let me show this crossover that we have over here yonder.

They do a huge amount of travel bookings as well.

I wonder how long until they have a medical school inside...

But yeah they're basically TrueCar with a physical location. If they tried to sell cars themselves they'd run into the same stupid old laws Tesla's been having trouble with.

In reply to Datsun1500:

i believe if they get any kickback for completed sale based on the referral, they are counted as part of the selling process, regardless if they dealt the car.

Maybe the same rules, but for very different reasons.

Costco would be another franchise selling cars, and not an OEM trying to direct sell their cars.

They also do motorcycles. Sadly no dealers in the Midwest it appears
