Amazon Launches Used, Certified Pre-Owned Car Sales in Los Angeles

Amazon has expanded its automotive platform to include used and certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles, initially partnering with Hyundai dealerships in Los Angeles, with plans for nationwide expansion. Customers can browse, filter, and purchase cars online with transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the ability to complete financing and trade-ins digitally, while still picking up the vehicle at the dealership after finalizing the deal. The platform offers protections such as a 3-day or 300-mile return policy and a minimum 30-day or 1,000-mile warranty. Amazon's approach is dealer-driven, distinguishing it from private-sale marketplaces, and features comprehensive vehicle information including free history reports. This initiative responds to dealer interest and aims to make car shopping more convenient and transparent for consumers, leveraging Amazon's large audience to benefit both buyers and sellers. The company has built on its initial new car sales launched in late 2024 and plans to grow its automotive marketplace across the United States.
