Amazon to sell cars online, starting with Hyundai

As much as I hate the idea of Amazon taking over another area of business, I would vastly prefer buying a car there than going into any dealership, and sitting through a load of bullshit with a sleazeball car salesman.

Wonder if they will sell houses like sears did

Are we able to return it for Free within the 30 days if the car sucks?

Will they do overnight shipping? Oh and imagine how much of a pain would to wait for your car to arrive and then they say you weren’t home

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The e-commerce giant along with new partner Hyundai announced Thursday at the 2023 LA Auto Show that it will start selling vehicles on its website in the second half of 2024.

The Amazon car sales section will allow customers to shop for vehicles in their area based on a range of preferences, including model, trim, color, and features, choose their preferred car, and then check out online with their chosen payment and financing options.

Customers will be able to buy a vehicle online and then pick it up or have it delivered by their local dealership, according to Amazon.

Amazon says this shopping experience “will create another way for dealers to build awareness of their selection and offer convenience to their customers,” language that suggests dealerships are on board with this move.

Mike Sullivan, the president and owner of several LA-area dealerships, including the Hyundai Santa Monica location, publicly supported the news while on stage at the LA Auto Show.

Hyundai said it will use Amazon Web Services as its preferred cloud provider and will integrate Alexa voice assistant in the automaker’s next generation of vehicles starting in 2025.
