The first one I used was a local used-car dealer who specializes in high-end
performance type cars. He also does auto-brokering. I knew of him through
many business connections and other business people who used him for
purchasing their own vehicles and their company vehicles. But, he stopped
handling new cars a few years ago and focuses only on finding specialty used
cars in the brokering side of his business.



So, I used the Costco brokering service the second time. Costco contracts
with one or more private auto brokers to handle its program. That worked
very well.



But, for the Prius I used a broker that works with my credit union and was
directly tied into their financing system. The credit union recommended him,
and in fact was linked directly through the credit union's website.
Actually, so is the Costco broker.



I suggest you check with your local credit union, and also check with
Costco. The Costco program's website is costcoauto.com.

How does one look for such auto brokers?
