I wouldn't recommend the Costco Auto program..I was looking at an Acura Integra.I went down to the approved dealer. Tbey are supposed to show you the Costco price. The dealer had the prices in a notebook he wouldn't let me see. He went in a back office for 15 minutes. When he came back he had a sheet of numbers written on it. He still tried to do a "market adjustment." I called Acura to report the dealer. The Acura agent said the 2024 Integra was not on the list of cars approved for the auto program. I assime because it was too new. I live in San Diego. which is a pretfy big city. They only had one Acura dealer in the whole city participating in the program. The next closest dealer was 100 miles away.

Fine print makes it sound like you can combine it with other programs too don't require a code like the $7,500/$10,000 clean air initiative.

" (4) place order between May 1, 2024 and May 31, 2024 of an eligible Polestar 2 model to receive a $2,000 Costco member-only incentive. The incentive will be applied at time of purchase or lease and is combined with other eligible Polestar incentives for which the Costco member qualifies... Only one (1) promotion code allowed per vehicle. Limit two (2) promotion codes per membership. Incentive is subject to change due to vehicle inventory availability. "

I don't get the logic behind releasing information about the release of PS4 and advertising the PS2 on TV and such other ways to buy a PS2.

I had the opposite experience with the purchase of a Subaru WRX. Everything was very transparent, and the salesperson showed me the Costco paperwork and everything matched with what I was expecting. For those thinking about this, I see no harm in trying it and seeing if the pricing works well for you.

I think a lot of it depends on the dealer… Subaru dealers have been pretty fair in my experience.

The dealer model in the US is broken. Dealers use and abuse customers. And sales staff are poorly trained and poorly compensated. Dealer owners are only interested in preserving their status quo, they’re against innovation, stifling it.

It sure is, but Polestar does not use the conventional dealer model do they? So my comment was made more with buying Polestar in mind via Costco or from Costco if they were selling cars.

Sure they do - at least here in the US. Polestar "spaces" are all owned by franchise Volvo dealers as far as I know. So typical dealer model with a different name.

It must be because of a big inventory of P2s they need to move now.
If not it makes you wonder about this focus on P2 instead of the others.

The question is will this be a limited program, only for the month of May 2024?

Don’t market what you can’t sell

guessing we won’t see much more visibility on marketing of the P3 and P4 until the first batches have firm port delivery dates or even release from port

Which other incentives were you able to find for the Polestar?

Curious, I got my membership just a few days ago, missing the cut off for this deal. Can I just get a friend with an older Costco membership to print out this voucher for me or it has a name on it and will be verified by the Polestar dealer?

I have a suspicion that Polestar's preference would be to sell you a car. And if it means granting you the benefit of the doubt over a membership at Costco - why would they care? oth. If you click the "Register for Costco Deal" at the Polestar site - it seems to indicate that you need to register at Costo first.

And here is what the form looks like "The member who is present at the dealership must match..":

Thanks I tried this page but it gives me an error citing cutoff date. I will try to reach out to Polestar directly, I would assume they would prefer to move one extra unit than not.

 

[PSinOR]

I suspect that this like any other conditional discount.
Military discount requires that you are or have been in the Military
First responder discount requires that you are a first responder
Recent college grad...
Loyalty...
Conquest...

Programs like this are designed for a limited group or they would just discount the car by $X

I'm not in marketing but probably they are trying to reach customers that their other advertising does not? Probably working as they are sold out of some common configurations. Very limited choices for AWD with the Plus package, Weavetech and 19" wheels are only available in Magnesium/Slate and Midnight/Slate.
No Jupiter at all and other colors require either leather and/or the 20" wheel upgrade

I'm in the process of doing this on the car in my signature.
My rep at the Detroit space asked if I was a Costco member before I even mentioned it.
I'm applying the Costco rebate to my down payment amount.
I also wanted a 3 year/12K lease.

I'll end up with $388 per month including taxes. Wisconsin puts taxes on leases into the monthly payment.
Due at signing: First months payment, First month's Taxes, Dealer Fees, Taxes on rebates, Registration, $1K down, etc.
Total due at signing will be roughly $2,340.42

See below. Due at signing will be $2K less. I also have a plate to transfer from my current EV, so registration will be less.

Total purchase price $42,550.00
Down payment -$3,000.00 (Will actually be $1K)
Acquisition Fee $995.00
Adjusted Capitalized Cost $40,545.00

Due at signing:
First Monthly Payment $388.17 (This Includes Taxes)
Registration Fee $424.50 (This should go down by $175)
CVR fee $24.00
Title with lien $16.00
Doc fee $260.00
Transfer fee $155.00 (Anybody know what this fee is?)
Tax On Fees $22.75
Down payment $3,000.00 (Costco Rebate will be applied to this)
Tax on Rebate, Trade-in and Down Payment $150.00
Deposit -$100.00
Due At Signing $4,340.42 (Total will be $2K Less)

I wish I could get out of my current lease and into that!

 

[chazglenn3]

I wish I could get out of mine and into a P4

 

[Polestar2MD]

As I stated in another post, I will be getting into a new Polestar 2 DM (Magnesium, Pilot, Plus, leather) early June.
$64,150 pre-discounts.
Placed $100 down payment.
Will be replacing my 2021 Snow/Barley Launch Edition.
This lease will be $505/month, 12K miles, 27 mos
Also took advantage of Costco discount.

Will be saving $205/month for same build and shorter lease, by 12 mos.
$1500 DAS

 

[rileyspiller]

Is there a such thing as renegotiating a lease!? It's probably a dumb question but this is SO MUCH lower than what I'm paying for my current P*2 lease.
