Amazon sells practically everything, including tiny homes, so why not add cars to the mix? Starting today, users in 48 cities across the continental US can buy a new car from a local dealership via .
You can check out which models are available at your local dealership and browse by make, model, trim, color and features. The marketplace has finance options and a way to schedule a pick-up from a local dealership. You can even get an instant valuation of your current vehicle’s trade-in value, then just drop it off when you collect your new ride.
Amazon is also transparent pricing and promising that this will remove the need for haggling with a salesperson. Talking to a human in 2024? How passé. Since this all takes place using the familiar Amazon interface, you’ll be able to see user reviews of cars and dealerships (aka sellers).
