From The Verge: Today, for the first time, you can buy a car — yes, a whole car — on Amazon. Same-day delivery not guaranteed.
The e-commerce giant’s first foray into car shopping is called Amazon Auto. The company is partnering with Hyundai dealers in 48 cities in the US to list vehicles on the site. Customers can browse, order, find financing, and arrange delivery — all within the familiar confines of Amazon’s online ecosystem.
Of course, if you’re looking for anything other than a Hyundai, you’re out of luck. At least for now.
“With Amazon Autos, we’re bringing the simplicity and ease customers expect from Amazon to car shopping, one of their largest purchases, while offering dealers a new channel to connect with a broad audience,” Fran Jin, global head of Amazon Autos, said in a statement. “We’re excited to have Hyundai as our exclusive launch partner and look forward to welcoming more brands and expanding our selection to customers as the program grows.”
