Costco is a chain of warehouse stores that are located throughout the USA. It costs $45 a year to be a member. They have a car buying program (discount) that is apparently pretty good. They have lots of locations in CA. There is more info on the http://www.costco.com/ website at http://www.costcoauto.com/index.asp?. I hope this helps. You can buy tires there too.

Yeah, wouldn't that be nice to get the hookups. Yeah, at least according to Edmunds listing of the invoice, the base price is less than $27000, but maybe with destination, it's a shade over the 27K mark. Regardless, I think the dealers are going to ride the wave of excitement of a new model til it fizzles in a few months. Good luck with your shopping.

I talked to the Costco contact at Lexus in the Bay Area (Stevens Creek in San Jose) and he was not helpful. He said he can give me a $100 discount. What other dealerships are giving the costco discount?

I don't want to sound mean at all but suave_tequila is only 17 years old and a salesman would most likely be playing with him by telling him 39K for a brand new IS that stickers for 47K. Would you honestly think a 17 year old would buy a car for that much? How many 17 year olds have that much money sitting in a bank (which should be invested instead of throwing it away like that). I would only reccommend a 17 year old buying, or financing, a car like that if he had a steady job bringing in +50K a year. Not much of a chance at that...
The same thing applies to me since I am only 19 years old. The only thing standing in my way is a credit rating which is being fixed by getting a credit card for the first time.
You will not see a discount like that on a brand new fully loaded IS for quite some time.
Well, that is my interpretation of the "discount".
Again... no offence to you suave_tequila

Oh none taken most 17 year olds around here where I live mostly have BMWs or Land Rovers and yes I do have a job that pays very well. But maybe I'll just wait till I'm 19 or something i'll just continue driving my 2003 Hummer!

You must mean "their parents have...". Where I come from its probably a little different, although I had a friend who got a 2002 Escalade (brand new) when he was 16. Oh yea, his dad bought it for him.
You are losing me somewhere here. Are all these kids child actors or drug dealers if they actually buy these things themselves? I find it hard to imagine kids with jobs that pay them anywhere around 1k+ a week while still in highschool full time.
Anyways, enjoy your Hummer. Pun intended!
