"The automaker announced on Monday that customers can now browse, buy, and fill out most of the paperwork for a pre-owned vehicle on Amazon Autos. Customers can peruse the inventory at dealers within a 75-mile radius and schedule a time for pick-up. Around 160-180 local dealers have said they're interested, and around 20 have already launched or will soon launch the program, Ford said. For now, the service is available in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas, with plans to bring it to new areas."
"Ford is offering a 14-day or 1,000-mile money-back guarantee on the vehicles. Ford specified in its press release that Amazon "facilitates the transaction," but the dealers handle all follow-up. The automaker's stock was down around 1% and Amazon's stock was down around 0.5% by 11:40 a.m. on Monday. The announcement comes two years after Amazon struck a similar deal with Hyundai to sell new cars. Hyundai said it will integrate Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant, into its next-generation vehicles as part of the deal."
