Ford Joins Amazon Autos with Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles
Ford announced its partnership with Amazon Autos to offer certified pre-owned Ford vehicles for sale on the popular e-commerce platform. This move comes a year after Amazon first ventured into online car sales with Hyundai, expanding its reach in the automotive industry.
Customers can now shop, finance, and purchase certified pre-owned Ford vehicles on Amazon Autos. The collaboration still involves dealerships, a crucial revenue source for Ford, as customers can browse a local dealer’s inventory on Amazon’s website, complete most paperwork online, and schedule a convenient pick-up time for their chosen vehicle.
One key feature of this partnership is the money-back guarantee on certified pre-owned vehicles sold through Amazon Autos. Customers have the option to return the vehicle within 14 days or 1,000 miles, providing added peace of mind for buyers.
Similar to other Amazon services, Amazon Autos allows customers to search for vehicles based on model, trim, color, and features from participating dealers. Additionally, shoppers can secure financing and electronically sign documents directly on the Amazon Autos platform.
Initially, Ford vehicles will be available in select markets such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas on Amazon Autos. This expansion into the certified pre-owned market offers customers more options when considering their next vehicle purchase.
