The American wholesaler Costco now
allows
you to purchase vehicles through them at
a
pre-arranged price through local dealers.
Taking this a step further, Costco should
introduce the Kirkland Signature® Luxury
Compact. It would only come in white,
with
an automatic transmission,
and with all
of
the popular options.
It would be in every way identical to, say,
a
Toyota Camry, but with a Kirkland
Signature
badge in place of the Toyota oval-T.

Can't help but feel that some store did this already - Sears, maybe? |
|
|
Bring it back, then. I hate the bargaining aspect of car shopping. |
|
|
Cool I can get a Walmartmobile. |
|
|
[jhomrighaus] Are you proposing that they bring back the Yugo? |
|

I have teased the contractors (builders) working on my house by saying they get their trucks at costco. At least half of them drive identical red Ford F150 pickups. They look like they came in a giant plastic clamshell pack from costco. I don't know how they tell them apart. |

|
The Tesco car would have to be white with blue stripes. |
|
|
Would I have to buy this car in a "family pack" of three to get the discount? |
|
|
Finally! Car buying for those rebels among us who think a car is just a tool to get from here to there. I'm all for it. |
|
|
[Galbinus_Caeli] Only if it has the Walmart logo on it and that big stupid smiley face as a hood ornament. |
|
|
So you want a cheap car and are willing to
sacrifice quality and brand name identity.
Just get a Hyundai. |
|
|
[rasberry re-tart] No, he said Toyota. |
|
|
There used to be an Eddie Bauer edition of the Ford Explorer. Crossbranding kinda goes in and out of fashion. |
|
|
There was also a Trek VW, A Coach Mercury(i think). Masseratti rebadged a chrysler lebaron once to. |

Shucks! If I could get 2007 Kirkland by simply walking up to the register, paying cash and then getting a set of keys so that I can go out to the back parking lot and drive one away, I would love it! |

"...hey honey.. you want anything from costco?"
"..Yeah! Get me a couple of cars! Mindy wrecked one this morning!" |
