Man Buys Car Without Haggling, Avengers Demand Immediate Recall
KEY POINTS
- •Vincent Rives discovered Costco’s Auto Program in summer 2024 during a regular grocery run in Miami.
- •He used the program to buy a 2025 Toyota RAV4 hybrid at a Costco-negotiated price of $36,720, 25% less than the original sticker price.
- •After sharing his experience on TikTok, his viral video amassed over two million views, promoting the virtually no-haggle car-buying method.
Vincent Rives stumbled on the Costco Auto Program during a 2024 summer grocery run — yes, between buying $5 rotisserie chickens and toilet paper — and found a legit way to pay $36,720 for a 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid instead of the noisy $48,540 sticker price. No dealer voodoo like ‘let me talk to my manager,’ just straight-up Costco magic making Miami’s car market seem less like a shark tank. His dealership phone blew up with calls, but shockingly polite salespeople confessed they got his info through Costco, not some sketchy internet form. He made a TikTok about it, which racked two million views because apparently people want painless car buying. Next car? Costco or bust, because negotiating is "so 20th century," apparently.

Costco just revealed the secret sauce: skip the sad circus of haggling, get a deal 25% off, and maybe score $5 chicken on the way out. If only life was this easy everywhere else.
Car dealers hate him: Miami man discovers Costco makes auto haggling disappear faster than your gym motivation after New Year's.
Imagine telling a dealership to ‘call my manager’ and they hang up because Costco already set the price. Apocalypse is real.
