CHANGE: Ford to start selling certified used cars on Amazon.
The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker on Monday said the deal allows customers to browse local dealers’ pre-owned Ford vehicle selections on Amazon Autos, and complete most paperwork online. Shoppers can then schedule a time to pick up their auto in person.
The program will debut in Los Angeles, Seattle and Dallas and add other locations over time, Ford said.
The vehicles come with a manufacturer-backed warranty and other benefits, the same as if they were sold directly through a dealership.
Ford notes that the only step of the purchase process that cannot be completed online is the retrieval of the car: “No Amazon Prime delivery for cars!” the company said in a press release announcing the partnership.
Someday — probably soon — self-driving cars will deliver themselves.
