Ford announced on Monday that customers can now shop for, finance, and purchase certified pre-owned Ford vehicles through Amazon Autos. The move highlights the company’s strategy to strengthen dealership networks, which remain a key source of revenue.
Through this partnership, buyers can view inventory from participating local Ford dealers directly on Amazon’s website. Customers can complete most of the paperwork online and schedule a time to pick up their chosen vehicle.
The initiative follows Amazon’s launch of its online car sales platform last year, which initially focused on new vehicles from Hyundai. With Ford joining, certified pre-owned vehicles are now part of the platform, providing more options for buyers.
All certified pre-owned Ford vehicles sold via Amazon Autos come with a money-back guarantee. Customers can return their vehicle within 14 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first, ensuring a risk-free purchase experience.
Amazon Autos operates much like the broader Amazon platform, allowing users to filter vehicles by model, trim, color, and features. The site also enables financing options and e-signature paperwork, streamlining the buying process.
The addition of Ford certified pre-owned vehicles marks a significant step in Amazon Autos’ expansion. While the platform initially focused on new car sales, this move introduces a new segment for buyers seeking reliable, pre-owned options.
Initially, Ford certified pre-owned vehicles on Amazon Autos will be available in select markets, including Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas. The company plans to expand availability over time as more dealerships participate.
By combining online convenience with trusted dealership networks, Ford and Amazon aim to make car buying easier for customers while maintaining the quality and reliability associated with certified pre-owned vehicles.
