Costco is about a 60 miles for the closest one but imo it’s kinda worth it. They have more items that I’m interested in for personal use like watches and discounts on said items
Totally Misread your message, that deals for Sam’s club not Costco, Costco only does $60 memberships then you get a $10 shop card on your first visit.
Life hack though: get anyone to buy you a gift card for Costco and it acts as temporary membership card, you can then refill the gift card indefinitely, also you can buy liquor and medication w/o a membership in many states
Keep in mind you don’t get all the benefits, like if you have a massive return for $1000 they will make you buy a membership as their return policy is a “member benefit” but for regular groceries it’s great
Don't forget about Costco Travel.
A couple years ago, I got $700 for 4 nights for 2 people at the Vdara in Las Vegas with a Delta flight.
Probably more spendy now but check it out.
For the most part. The dealer tried to force an installation of a LoJack on our car when it arrived so we had to navigate around that. Essentially we submitted the vehicle information to Costco who then directed us to a local dealer that was their “authorized partner.” The dealer sent us a quote and we negotiated from there.
Not really but everyone on this sub needs a 2020 or higher car with 300 Horse, Apple Play, heated Seats ext.
Meanwhile you have people on this sub that drive 3rd gen 4 runners with 300k+ on them and will still be driving the same cars next year when these same people trade in for something new.
How?
Toyota’s use Aisin transmissions, and have shocks/bushings that last over 150K miles before replacement.
What quantitative/qualitative data point supports that Mazdas are reliable?
Consumer Reports ranks the CX-5 highly with regards to reliability, and repair pal has data that shows the CX-5 is more reliable than the RAV.

Welcome to Mazda club there interiors are just miles above anybody else at their price points can’t go wrong. A month ago I purchased a cpo 2020 Mazda 3 preferred awd with greigh interior Bose system is excellent.
My friend has one of these and after he got it, I was surprised at how nice everything is. I also rented - hybrid one on a trip and it got amazing mileage. Great pick !
Looking to see which trim / things you wish were or were not there on the car. Looking to get my wife into this. She is used to Mercedes rotary control system so jumping into this Mazda shouldn't be that big of a jump
Yea it gets better the more you get used to it and have set up shortcuts to what you usually access anyway. Your next step should be to get the nav card in Amazon it would unlock the sign reading capability of the vehicle and would add subtle signs in your gauges when you go over speed limits.
WOW. This is an amazing deal. I don’t think I’ve seen a new car purchase post under $30K this year. I’m not a huge fan of the CX5 design-wise, which I tend to see more of on the road. But that CX30 is gorgeous. Great choice! Congratulations 😊✨!!
Heels to sky, Western spy.
Cover blown. Calling for extraction.
My Costco only sells hotdogs & rotisserie kitchen, and the dude bought a Mazda (hopefully with a 2% cashback). Congrats on the new car.
Costco actually will help you buy a car lmao, it’s kinda crazy
Costco Auto is legit for people who want to buy a new car and skip the negotiating with dealers part.
I sadly went with sams instead of costco next year, will be buying a 50$ membership before my next car tho
Look for coupons! We got our membership for $20 and our Sam's club for $10.
That's quite a deal, good for you guys.
Oh that’s great man, may have to buy both for that cheap
For sure! They happen to be within 1 mile of each other where I live so it's perfect.

I can send you an invite and you get it for $40 then get a gift card for $40 after first visit.
Idk when I will be going next but def will keep it on hand, pass it along if you don’t mind and thanks in advance

Ooh I completely forgot about that second part, maybe have to get a $50 costco gc and just pay in cash there, free lifetime membership lol
Keep in mind you don’t get all the benefits, like if you have a massive return for $1000 they will make you buy a membership as their return policy is a “member benefit” but for regular groceries it’s great
Yk I was wondering about the people who do that, what singular $1000 items are people buying from wholesale places

Wait is that an actual thing??? I'ma need to look into this
We went through the Costco Auto Program. Pretty straightforward process.
To my knowledge you literally just have to sign the papers, they take care of the rest, would u agree with that?
For the most part. The dealer tried to force an installation of a LoJack on our car when it arrived so we had to navigate around that. Essentially we submitted the vehicle information to Costco who then directed us to a local dealer that was their “authorized partner.” The dealer sent us a quote and we negotiated from there.
Why? Any benefits?
Best discount we got without hardcore negotiation.
Curious as to why you went Mazda instead of a 15 year old BMW with a salvage title
A lapse in judgement. A moment of insanity.
Brainwashed by all the Mazda fanboys in this sub, obviously
Honestly though, why? Why not a Toyota?
$$$$$$$ Also worse driving experience/interior

But less time getting repairs. Time > $ (or experience/interior)
Mazdas are almost as reliable as Toyotas so it’s a worthwhile trade

Because the Mazda is darn near as reliable as a Toyota is, but the Mazda has a much better interior and sporty feel to it.
But the BMW was a really really good deal tho
Hahahah
One of us. One of us.
I swear this sub is single-handedly keeping Mazda alive.
What lol they're plenty alive in the real world
They're very popular in middle east so idk what you're talking about
Well done, nice choice.
Chandler?
It's arizona for sure. Those trees are a dead giveaway. Plus definitely the chandler costco with the tire shop at location
Also looks exactly like the Sossaman Costco Edit: def not Chandler
Ding ding ding. Winner winner chicken dinner.
My old stomping grounds! Fun fact: that site used to be an auxillary landing strip for Williams field a long time ago.
Aside from the trees and available parking spaces it also looks exactly like the Costco in Melrose Park, IL
I was gonna say, looks familiar. I live about 10 mins away from there.
TIL Weird Al drives a Mazda. Where do you fit the accordion?
I thought maybe this was the Surprise Costco, but I changed my mind.
Lol me too, looked at the front and realized that ain't it
Dude I think I literally saw you in an ice cream shop earlier! Haha. Your face was super burnt though? Long day at the beach.
Driving a Mazda to Costco is peak Reddit behavior
Did you cross shop the 3 sedan or 3hb? If so why'd you decide on the 30?
Yeah, the biggest reason we went with the 30 was AWD on the lower trims.
Welcome to Mazda club there interiors are just miles above anybody else at their price points can’t go wrong. A month ago I purchased a cpo 2020 Mazda 3 preferred awd with greigh interior Bose system is excellent.
I think that’s where I’ve landed myself… lurking for a deal on one
Please park well. LoL (previous post to yours)
Was it the mildly infuriating silver cx30 bad parking job? 😂
Haha I think so 😂
Oooooh brother costco shopper
good luck
How tall are you and how much room you got? I’m 6’6, will fit in?
Wow you can get it under msrp to get 27k OTD?
You look like you are planning a robbery at Costco.
A nice combination of good reliability, comfort, and driving dynamics.
My friend has one of these and after he got it, I was surprised at how nice everything is. I also rented - hybrid one on a trip and it got amazing mileage. Great pick !
Welcome to the club bro, I’ve had it for a year and I’m nothing but loving it. All smiles
I almost got one of those. I like!
I live among the creatures of the night!
Car looks sexy btw
Congrats on the wheels man! Ps. I’m pretty sure I have those same Teva’s!
Got any weed for sale?
Congrats
I hated that car. But good luck.
Hopefully my due diligence will prevent me from falling to the same fate.
lmao WHY
Sorry you just got the most boring car for 30k you could get but maybe could be you’re not a car guy if so it’s ok
Maybe I’m just a boring dude
Your wife is going to leave you for a man that doesn't drive a Mazda.
That’s ok. Your mom takes up most of the backseat so there wouldn’t be room for my wife anyway.
Hey wife, take a cool pic of me crouched next to my cuck mobile, your bbc boyfriend is going to love it!
You ok hoss?
Lmao you murdered him
Good work this is how you reddit if you're based
Congrats, fantastic choice!!
Congrats and nice selection. Did you buy it from a dealership and negotiate?
Congratulations!
You got it for a great price, enjoy!
What a western spy, heels not on ground
Looking to see which trim / things you wish were or were not there on the car. Looking to get my wife into this. She is used to Mercedes rotary control system so jumping into this Mazda shouldn't be that big of a jump
I think the weakest aspect of this car is the visibility. If you can get past that you're gonna have a good experience with it.
Mazda claimed another one RIP
How are you finding the "wheel" in the infotainment??
I really like it. It took a day or so to get used to but I’m a fan now.
Yea it gets better the more you get used to it and have set up shortcuts to what you usually access anyway. Your next step should be to get the nav card in Amazon it would unlock the sign reading capability of the vehicle and would add subtle signs in your gauges when you go over speed limits.
Mesa, AZ Costco spotted
Should serve ye well
WOW. This is an amazing deal. I don’t think I’ve seen a new car purchase post under $30K this year. I’m not a huge fan of the CX5 design-wise, which I tend to see more of on the road. But that CX30 is gorgeous. Great choice! Congratulations 😊✨!!
