Ford certified preowned vehicles can now be bought on e-commerce giant Amazon as the second major automaker taps the site for sales.
Hyundai joined the automotive marketplace last year. Now, customers in Los Angeles, Seattle and Dallas can browse and buy Ford CPO vehicles within a 75-mile radius of their locations.
While Amazon facilitates purchasing, including price estimates and financing, customers must pick up the vehicles at the participating dealerships. Those interested in financing their purchases can access a selection of banks chosen by the dealer, including Ford Credit.
Ford Blue Advantage vehicles come with a warranty that includes a money-back guarantee and a passing multipoint inspection.
As of November, about 180 dealers had expressed interest in the program, and approximately 20 had launched or plan to soon, according to Ford, which said it plans to expand to more cities in the coming months.
