Now through April 30, Costco is offering member-only incentives on certain new Audi sedans, SUVs and EVs through the Costco Auto Program. You can get between $1,000 and $2,000 off select 2024 or 2025 Audi models, just for being a Costco member.
To participate in the promotion, Costco members with current memberships as of March 3, 2025, will need to register for a certificate online for their preferred Audi model. Then, just bring that certificate to any Audi dealership to receive the member-only incentive when you buy or lease the car by April 30.

Audis generally get good reviews. For example, Car and Driver named Audis "so uniformly good at everything that they can almost feel cold and clinical." Consumer Reports ranked Audi as the twelfth best brand — worse than competitors like Acura and BMW — but better than Cadillac, Genesis and Infinity.
“Costco member demand for Audi is very strong, especially the Audi Q5,” said Cory Benwell, general manager of the Costco Auto Program.
Remember: registration is required and you must be a member by March 3, 2025. Be sure to review full restrictions, eligibility and details. The 2024 and 2025 Audi models eligible for the discount include:
- Save $1,000 on Audi Q4 e-tron, Q3, A3 and S3.
- Save $2,000 on Audi Q5, SQ5, Q7, SQ7, Q8, SQ8, A5 Sportback, S5 Sportback, A6, S6, A6 Allroad, A7, S7, A8, S8, Q6 e-tron, SQ6 e-tron, Q8 e-tron, SQ8 e-tron, e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT.
If you're not a Costco member yet, it's too late to take advantage of this member-only incentive. But Costco's Auto Program regularly runs promotions and offers special member's only pricing year-round. So, if you're planning to buy a new car in the next few months, consider joining now to see what incentives you are eligible or wait for the next big limited-time promotion to roll out.
If you take advantage of the warehouse club's current sign-up deal, you can get up to $40 back for joining Costco right now.

Stack Savings with Manufacturer Incentives
The Costco Auto Program makes it easy for members to take advantage of as many discounts and special offers as possible when buying a new or used car.
In addition to limited time specials like the two mentioned above, you can also browse manufacturer rebates and incentives on Costco's website.
Stack these manufacturer deals on top of your Costco member-only incentives to shave even more off the price of your next car.
You'll also find the latest rebates and incentives available from other manufacturers like Subaru, Honda, Jeep and more.
How the Costco Auto Program works
The Costco Auto Program is free to all Costco members. The Program provides low, prearranged pricing on most makes and models through Costco's network of Approved Dealerships where you will find trained and certified Authorized Contacts to assist you with your purchase.
Members can also use “Vehicle Research” to locate an Approved Dealer for any brand.
Other benefits of the Costco Auto Program
Limited-time specials aren't the only reason to make Costco your first stop when buying a new or pre-owned vehicle. Other perks include:
- 15% off parts and service: Costco members automatically get 15% off parts, service and accessories for any vehicle in their household, even if you didn't buy it through Costco. That's up to $500 off maintenance and repairs. Just fill out this form before you take it in and Costco will email you the address of the nearest participating repair shop and a confirmation code to get the discount.
- Costco Auto Program for pre-owned vehicles: Costco also does prearranged pricing on factory-certified pre-owned vehicles and select pre-owned vehicles. Not only are you getting a car that's met some of the strictest certification standards, but you're getting a member-only price without having to waste time haggling at the dealership.
- Auto insurance: Costco Members may save on car insurance and home Insurance, too. The company reports that its members saved an average of $595.86 in auto insurance in the first year after they switched to CONNECT, powered by American Family Insurance.
