Books, electronics, groceries, toilet paper, and a used F-150?
Well-traveled netizens know that anything and everything you could need, including books, flat-screen TVs, clothes, and even essentials like toilet paper and groceries, is just one click away on Amazon. However, a new-to-you Ford vehicle could find its way onto your shopping list. In an announcement released on November 17, Ford announced that its customers can now explore inventory and complete most of the paperwork to finance or purchase pre-owned vehicles on Amazon’s car-buying platform, Amazon Autos.
Ford is the second automaker to partner with the e-commerce giant, joining South Korean automotive juggernaut Hyundai on the platform, which allows buyers to browse, finance, and purchase cars with the same familiarity as the site. However, unlike Hyundai, Ford will solely offer vehicles from its Ford Blue Advantage certified pre-owned vehicle program.

In its press release, Ford said that prospective customers can browse inventory from participating dealers within a 75-mile radius, view itemized pricing, and arrange appropriate financing from a selection of banks, including Ford Credit, without having to leave Amazon. In an interview with Bloomberg, Wendy Lane, the senior manager of Ford’s Blue Advantage unit, noted that the Amazon partnership only adds to the commitment and promise that the Blue Oval has given to its pre-owned program.
“Everyone has an Amazon account,” Lane said. “Knowing that it is a trusted source for consumers and having our vehicles listed there, we’re really excited to see how it works and how well consumers adopt it.”
In addition, Lane mentioned that Ford’s goal with the Amazon Autos partnership is to drive foot traffic to its dealers’ used-car lots, so that car buyers can stay within what she calls “Ford’s ecosystem” for service and future purchases.

Certified vehicles and no haggling
The move by Ford comes as average new car prices are reaching new highs above $50,000, with used cars following not too far behind. According to Edmunds data, the average cost of a three-year-old used car reached $31,067 during Q3 2025, the highest it has been in three years. According to Bloomberg, Ford stated that it will apply what it has learned about selling its certified pre-owned cars on Amazon Autos and consider expanding to sell new vehicles, similar to what Hyundai already does. Nonetheless, vehicles sold through Ford’s Blue Advantage will be sold at a no-haggle set price and will have undergone extensive multi-point inspections, which it backs with limited warranties of up to one year or 12,000 miles.
“By working with exceptional Ford dealers who share our commitment to customer service, we’re creating a car buying experience that combines trusted vehicle certification with the convenience Amazon is known for,” Fan Jin, global leader of Amazon Autos, said in a statement.
Final thoughts
Ford states that the Amazon Autos partnership is currently available in limited markets and recently expanded to Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas. They intend to add additional cities in the coming months. In a statement, Ford said that initial dealer sign-ups for the program have been positive, and that “about 160-180 dealers” are expressing interest, with around 20 either offering vehicles on Amazon Autos or working to do so soon.
Notably, Ford follows rental car giant Hertz, which began to sell cars on Amazon Autos back in August. Like Ford, Hertz customers could buy their cars on Amazon and pick them up at any of the 45 Hertz Car Sales locations nationwide. However, on September 30, they announced the launch of their own dedicated online platform to sell used cars directly to consumers, allowing customers to get trade-in offers, calculate monthly payments, get pre-qualified for financing, and view optional protection plans, all without leaving their homes or couches.
