Ford Puts Certified Used Cars on Amazon in Dealer-Led Pilot

The pilot routes online purchases to franchised dealers, testing a dealer-led path to digital car sales.

Overview

  • The program is live in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas, letting shoppers browse inventory, secure financing, and complete most paperwork on Amazon Autos before picking up at a participating Ford dealer.
  • Only Blue Advantage certified pre-owned vehicles are listed, with Gold and EV tiers offering a 172- or 127-point inspection and a 12‑month/12,000‑mile warranty, and Blue tier providing a 139‑point inspection with a 90‑day/4,000‑mile warranty.
  • All purchases carry a 14‑day or 1,000‑mile money‑back guarantee, and listings include transparent pricing, service history, and full specifications.
  • Dealers remain the seller of record, set pricing, handle delivery and service, and customers can shop participating inventory within a 75‑mile radius.
  • Ford says more than 160 dealers have expressed interest, with about a dozen launched and roughly 10 more coming next week, as Amazon builds on earlier partnerships with Hyundai for new cars and Hertz for used vehicles.
