Amazon is expanding the range of automotive services to used and certified pre-owned (CPO), thus increasing its presence in the automotive sector. The penetration of the e-commerce titan into this automotive arena occurred only recently in late 2024 by way of a collaboration with Hyundai, through which customers could browse and buy new vehicles directly from Amazon.
In the current case, consumers are given more choice, but the selection remains limited: Hyundai dealerships that are also suppliers for the new-car initiative supply the used and CPO vehicles. The company wishes to strengthen the network by working alongside more dealerships in the coming months, a clear indication of its deeper interest in online car sales.
Listings for used and certified pre-owned cars on Amazon will initially be limited to Los Angeles-based dealers, with plans to quickly grow scale and scope nationwide. This is exactly how the new-car marketplace is also being handled in more than 130 cities across the United States. Many of the same advantages come with purchasing used or certified pre-owned from Amazon, as are provided for new car purchases.
First of all, All prices of used vehicles on Amazon are stated in plain view, meaning what is listed online is what one will pay for it. There’s no haggling; no hidden fees; you pay from the comfort of your home. Once a buyer goes to the dealer, they are not going to get hit with last-minute markups or unexpected surprise fees. Every pre-owned and CPO vehicle listed on Amazon Autos comes with a free Experian vehicle history report, which discloses the vehicle’s condition, accident history, odometer reading, outstanding recalls, and service history.
Buyers also benefit from a three-day/300-mile return policy and at least a 30-day/1,000-mile limited warranty. So, you can get your car refunded within 3 days, provided you have not more than 300 miles, with no questions asked, if you are not satisfied with the return on your purchase.
