<prompt> Human: I am looking to buy a used but reliable car in the near future, I heard very good things about Costcos auto program which can save you lots money on cars you buy at their select dealership, especially towards the end of a year like now. The annual membership fee is only 55 bucks, so if the stories I heard about it are true then Im definitely gonna get a membership at Costco. I would really appreciate it if anyone that had bought cars especially pre-owned through Costco could share their experience. PS: I live in small household and 35 mins away from nearest Costco, so we wont be going there shopping a lot, but still a cars good discount can outweigh a lot things.  <response>: The car-buying program is for new and certified used cars only. You can get similar deals through e.g. truecar AAA.
