9/3/2015

Bentonville, Ark. -- Sam's Club is taking on Costco in the auto buying program business by teaming up with one of the biggest names in car-shopping.



The all-new Sam's Club Auto Buying Program will now be powered by TrueCar, Sam's Club announced Thursday. Sams Club says members will have access to more than 10,000 TrueCar Certified Dealers nationwide, more than three times the nearest competitor in the warehouse club channel (i.e., Costco).



"Whether it’s your first car or your sixth, the process of purchasing a vehicle can be a daunting task. We’ve chosen to launch our auto buying program with TrueCar based on their proven ability to bring car buyers a best-in-class experience," said Seong Ohm, senior VP of merchandise business services at Sams Club. "Our auto buying program will save members both time and money."



More than two million cars have been purchased from TrueCar Certified Dealers using a TrueCar-powered platform.



"Sams Club is the warehouse club of choice for millions nationwide, representing a broad base of consumers and business owners with serious buying power," said Jim Nguyen, TrueCars co-founder and executive VP of partner development. "We are excited to serve these quality-seeking, smart and loyal members, who will appreciate the exceptional value offered through the Sams Club Auto Buying Program.”



By purchasing their car using the Sams Club Auto Buying Program, members will receive a number of benefits on new and used cars.
