Costco is more than just a membership warehouse. Sure, they sell pallets of blue jeans and ketchup by the gallon, but there are countless other products and services available.

U.S. car sales are falling – a somewhat surprising trend in light of the record-setting sales the automotive industry posted in 2016.

The Toyota Camry is the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for the 14th year in a row. 

BMW is on track to beat out Mercedes-Benz and Lexus for the 2015 luxury sales crown.

When it’s time to purchase a new ride what’s the first place that comes to mind? For most people it’s probably a dealership. But did you know it’s possible to buy a car or truck at Costco? In fact the membership warehouse sold nearly 400,000 vehicles last year.

Increasing dealer inventory is forcing GM to curb production at two of its facilities.
