Not really sure if it will get you anywhere, but you can tell the dealer that you got the Costco pricing from they can either honor the 32K price you have (if in writing) or at the very least do MSRP or you are going to report them to Costco... I had a friend not on a CTR, but another car, I forget what it was get a Costco price or one of those sites like Trucar that spits out a pre-negotiated price and they got there for the dealer to do the same crap you are talking about of oh we can't do that price. They told them to honor or they would nofity the site that gave it to them. The dealer at first told them do whatever they had to do. They complained and the site took care of the rest and told the dealer to honor the price or they will be removed from the program.... So who knows might land you the car at MSRP or the below MSRP price you got or maybe Costco will remove them from the program. I know Costco is all about the customer so they will fight for you I am sure.This thread has been helpful. I've been searching for a CTR since March 2018. I received a price of $32K through Costco for a dealer near LAX in LA, CA; but was then told the car was sold for $40K+ and that fleet pricing was never given. A black CTR was available for $43K with no accessories. I've been contacting various dealers regionally and out-of-state. It seems all dealers in California are $5K-10K over MSRP. It's just not a viable option anymore.
Is there any wait lists at any dealers in the USA that I can pay a deposit for? White CTR seems to demand a premium when the blue and gray are exclusive to the USA. My search might end early next year and I am unable to obtain one.
On a side note dealers are assholes with this ADM. They bait you in on MSRP listed on their sites and the 3rd party autotrader and the like, but then you call and email to get them beating around the bush for some to tell you oh there is a ADM or some even don't tell you until you get there... Also some email you a lower than MSRP price or MSRP price when you fill out their online request only to do the same and throw ADM on later... Had this happen to me pleanty of times, but unless I am going to waste time reporting them to the BBB or court they are going to get away with it. Like everyone else I told them to screw off and I moved on and kept looking. All this to say if I were in your shoes though with a third party giving you a price I would at least alert them to what is going on and they might punish the dealer at the least by removing them from he program which will in the end hurt the dealer on many other sales...
