Amazon has officially entered the car shopping world with Amazon Autos (BETA) – allowing shoppers to buy or lease a car directly through Amazon with participating dealerships. This new shopping experience makes it easier to compare models, pricing, availability, reviews, and financing without visiting multiple dealership websites.
How Amazon Autos Works
Amazon is partnering with local dealerships to let you shop vehicles online. You browse cars the same way you would shop anything else on Amazon, but the dealership still handles the final paperwork, pickup, or delivery.
You can:
– View new car inventory available near you
– Compare trims, features, colors & pricing
– Lease or finance through dealership options
– Schedule delivery or local pickup
– Read verified Amazon reviews from real vehicle owners
Key Features
– Transparent pricing: No hidden surprise fees during checkout
– Side-by-side comparisons: Easily compare different models
– Flexible purchase options: Buy, finance, or lease
– Local dealership support: You still get standard maintenance, warranty & customer service
– Streamlined experience: Shop from home, then finalize at your preferred dealer
Where Is Amazon Autos Available?
