Customers can now browse, finance, and purchase certified pre-owned Ford vehicles online through Amazon Autos. The platform enables buyers to view thousands of models from local Ford dealers, backed by Ford Blue Advantage warranties.
Ford offers three certification levels for its pre-owned vehicles. Gold Certified vehicles go through a 172-point inspection and come with a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty covering more than 1,000 components. EV Certified vehicles receive a specialized 127-point inspection and include the same duration of comprehensive coverage. Blue Certified vehicles, which may also feature non-Ford brands, offer a 90-day/4,000-mile limited warranty. All tiers provide roadside assistance.
Financing is available for qualified customers through several lenders as part of the car buying process on Amazon Autos.
Fan Jin, global leader of Amazon Autos, said: “The addition of Ford certified pre-owned vehicles to Amazon Autos represents an exciting expansion of our store, giving customers access to thousands of quality vehicles backed by Ford’s comprehensive inspection and warranty programs. 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.“
Robert Kaffl, executive director for Ford U.S. Sales and Dealer Relations, stated: “We are excited to support our dealers in launching Ford Blue Advantage vehicles (CPO) on Amazon Autos. Amazon Autos allows Ford Dealers to offer their certified pre-owned vehicles through Amazon’s accessible digital platform, while maintaining the benefits that customers enjoy from their relationships of our Ford Dealers. It’s about delivering the best of both worlds to our customers.”
Amazon Autos connects shoppers with dealers nationwide so they can search inventory within a 75-mile radius based on make, model, year or color. Each listing provides itemized pricing details along with vehicle history and specifications.
After selecting a vehicle online, buyers can secure financing and schedule pickup at their local dealer. This streamlines paperwork and reduces time spent at the dealership while keeping dealer staff focused on in-person service.
Vehicles sold by participating Ford dealers undergo thorough inspections and are covered by a 14-day/1,000-mile money-back guarantee via Ford Blue Advantage. Service history reports are provided for transparency.
Limited warranties cover essential components such as engine parts and electrical systems; extended service plans may also be available from participating dealers.
For dealerships, this initiative offers new exposure by connecting them with millions of potential customers via Amazon’s digital channel while retaining control over pricing and customer interaction throughout the sales process.
Currently available in Los Angeles, Seattle and Dallas markets on Amazon Autos, there are plans to expand into additional cities soon.
