Ford Drives Onto Amazon: Your Next Ride Could Be Just a Click Away
Gearheads and casual commuters alike, get ready to shop for your next set of wheels from the comfort of your living room! Ford has officially joined the ranks of automakers making their vehicles available for purchase on Amazon, bringing a whole new level of convenience to the car-buying experience.
The Blue Oval announced Monday that its franchised dealers will now be able to list certified pre-owned vehicles through Amazon’s “Amazon Autos” program. This means you can browse inventory, sort out financing, start the dreaded paperwork, and even schedule a pick-up at a participating dealership – all without leaving your couch. Don’t worry, your local Ford dealer still gets to set the prices, so you’re supporting local businesses while enjoying online ease.
Ford is assuring buyers that these pre-owned rides come with the company’s full backing, including warranties and roadside assistance. “Certified pre-owned Fords go through a thorough inspection and reconditioning process by Ford factory-trained technicians,” the company stated, emphasizing the quality you can expect.
For now, this convenient new program is rolling out in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas. But if you’re not in one of those lucky cities, fear not! Ford has “plans to expand to additional cities” in the coming months, with a promising 160 of its nearly 3,000 U.S. storefronts already expressing interest in hopping on board.
While Hyundai beat Ford to the punch, striking a deal with Amazon in 2024 to sell new vehicles, Ford’s focus on certified pre-owned options offers a different avenue for online car shopping. So, if you’re in the market for a reliable ride and love the ease of online shopping, your next Ford could be just a few clicks away!
