Ford Motor is partnering with Amazon
to let the automaker’s franchised dealers sell certified preowned vehicles through the online retail giant.

The new program will allow customers to secure financing, start paperwork and schedule a pickup time for the vehicles at participating Ford dealers, the companies announced Monday. Some steps, such as a final signature, may still need to be completed in person, Ford said.

The deal comes two years after Amazon said it would allow auto dealers to sell cars through its site, starting with vehicles from South Korean automaker Hyundai.

The deals between Amazon and the two automakers differ, though, as Hyundai’s involves new vehicles rather than certified preowned. CPO vehicles are used but have been inspected, refurbished and certified by the manufacturer or dealer. They’re considered a better quality of used vehicles than cars without the designation and have warranties, like a new vehicle.

Amazon earlier this year also partnered with car rental company Hertz to sell used vehicles through its site.

If there is no massive mark up like dealerships have, I’m all for it. The less middle men we have between manufacturers and customers the better

So they'll still get you in the dealership to upsell warranties.

I'm with you. If this leads to cheaper vehicles with no other issues, hell yeah.

I'm thinking maybe this is an effort for car dealerships to keep up with Carmax, Carvana when it comes to used car sales. Last time I traded a vehicle in the dealership couldn't touch what Carmax offered me for it.

Good point. Do they still sell local so you can test drive? I would assume right?

Or they just sell a virtual tire kicker upcharge to you? Prime Membership gets you the tires kicked.

Stealerships need to go the way of the dodo bird. Obsolete business model, and a bunch of scumbag crooks.

Will be interesting to see if Louisiana residents will have to go out of state to pick up their vehicles like they so with Tesla.

Tesla also.

This really is the way to go. Just let us buy the darn car from the company that made it. Not some goofy cash-siphoning sales front (dealership).

Would be a big win for consumers if all dealerships ceased to exist

This board loves them some dealerships though, just like they love passing by their local insurance agent's billboard.

Can't wait til the Amazon Prime days, where they'll discount the cars a grand total of $0.

Auto insurance also. Actually, almost anything to do with automobiles.

You did note, right, that it's dealerships selling the cars?
