Ford selling used cars on Amazon
(FOX 2) - Ford is now selling its used vehicles on Amazon.
The company's pre-owned cars and trucks will be available through the e-commerce giant's auto sales site. However, the program is only launching in select cities.
Big picture view:
According to the automaker, customers can purchase a used Ford car on Amazon Autos.
Three tiers of pre-owned vehicles will be available: Gold, Blue, and EV certified. The company adds there is a 14-day/1,000-mile money-back guarantee for those that want to return their vehicle.
The collaboration allows customers to browse a local dealership's inventory directly through Amazon's website. Most of the paperwork can be made online before a time to pickup the vehicle is scheduled.
The company added each vehicle is backed by the Ford Blue Advantage warranty, which means it passed a "multi-point inspection" and has roadside assistance.
Dig deeper:
The three tiers of vehicles for sale range from Gold, Blue, and EV.
- Gold Certified: Ford vehicles up to six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. They undergo a 172-point inspection and include a 12-month/12,000-mile (whichever comes first) comprehensive limited warranty.
- Blue Certified: Ford and other brands up to 10 years old with fewer than 150,000 miles. These vehicles pass a 139-point inspection and come with a 90-day/4,000-mile (whichever comes first) comprehensive limited warranty.
- EV Certified: Electric Ford vehicles up to six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles. They receive a specialized 127-point inspection and the same comprehensive warranty coverage as Gold Certified vehicles.
Customers can browse an inventory within a 75-mile radius.

The program is currently available in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas. It will be made available to additional markets at a later time.
