  If you work for a large company, or one that is a supplier to automakers, I highly recommend researching whether your company is part of the make’s corporate discount program. The prices are often in the neighborhood of employee pricing, and often publicly-advertised incentives will stack with the corporate discount.

  I bought a Rav-4 in 2018. When I was price-shopping, I included Costco Auto in my search. They weren't the cheapest (although they were very low-hassle), but they were close to the best price I could get from a nearby dealer. In the end, I went round-robin with a few dealerships (taking one dealership's offer to another dealership and asking them to beat it), and wound up with a price around $1000 less than the Costco Auto price. I had to drive an hour to get the car, but that's no big deal in the long run. So my two cents is that Costco Auto maybe hits a sweet spot between "don't want to negotiate" and "good price". But if you enjoy the thrill of the hunt, you can probably do better than the Costco Auto prices.
