Ford Now Sells Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles on Amazon Autos

People in some parts of the country can now buy Ford cars and trucks on Amazon. And the pre-owned vehicles are certified by Ford dealerships. And today's David Lamb reports. Ford announced a partnership with Amazon Autos on Monday to help with the car buying process. Ford says customers will be able to shop a participating dealers inventory of used vehicles directly through Amazon. Most of the paperwork can be done online and people can schedule a time to test drive and pick up the vehicle. The program is launching in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas for now. Timothy Flity, a resident of California, says he thinks it's a good idea >> cuz Amazon is like blowing up and going through new uh changes. I guess >> car makers have been trying to provide smoother online shopping for people concerned with spending hours at dealerships, but Flirty says there are still some difficulties with ordering things online >> cuz I don't know the fabric, the size and stuff like that. So, I don't really like to shop online. If I do, I ask my partner and she does pretty good online. >> Uh online car, I don't trust online vehicle to buy them unless it's brand new. Uh, I'd like to see the car in person. >> The cars are backed by a Ford warranty and gives shoppers a money back guarantee if they decide to return the vehicle within 2 weeks. A limousine company owner says his experience makes him skeptical when it comes to warranties >> because they end up like they say we warranty engine transmission but a small part uh typically in the vehicle is not working. Okay. So >> I see >> kind of I don't trust it, you know. >> I I see like a rear certified say bumper to bumper. >> Now we talk, you know. >> According to Ford, its program covers cars up to 10 years old that go through at least a 127 point inspection. Some vehicles have a one-year warranty. Amazon facilitates the initial online transaction, and the local Ford dealership handles the rest. In 2023, Hyundai announced it would sell new cars on Amazon and became the first car maker to do so. A spokesperson for Amazon Autos said Ford is the second car company to offer its models on the platform. David Lamb, Entity News, California.
