Costco is becoming one of America's favorite places to buy a car thanks to one huge perk

Costco's power in the auto industry is growing.

The warehouse retailer sold 465,000 vehicles through partnerships with auto dealers in 2015, a 16.8% increase from the previous year.

That's not far behind the No. 1 auto retailer in the US, AutoNation, which sold 533,000 vehicles in 2014.

Costco has one major perk that traditional car dealerships lack: fixed prices. That means customers can skip the bargaining and upselling that is expected at traditional auto dealers.

  3. Some auto dealers claim "fixed pricing".

    Of course they don't want you to haggle and make a counter offer, they love it when you just pay whatever is on the sticker.

  4. There's a difference between fixed pricing and up-selling!

  5. Throw in a 120 pack of toilet tissue to sweeten the deal.
