Hyundai to Be First Automaker to Sell New Cars on Amazon

Hyundai to Be First Automaker to Sell New Cars on Amazon (msn.com)

The South Korean automaker announced the move Thursday with Amazon at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Starting in 2024, U.S. auto dealers will be able to sell new vehicles on the tech company’s platform, making Hyundai the first automotive brand to offer such an option for customers.

Prospective buyers will be able to search on Amazon’s website for available vehicles in their area by model, color and features, and then complete the process using their chosen payment and financing options.

As part of the companies’ partnership, Hyundai will include Amazon’s Alexa technology in the brand’s cars beginning in 2025, the companies said.

The plan underscores how the traditional car-buying experience is continuing to be upended for the automotive industry. During the Covid-19 pandemic, automakers expanded at-home delivery programs during coronavirus-related lockdowns, while dealers broadened their websites to help customers tour showrooms virtually.

I can see this working out rather good. I hate going to the dealership and being forced to listen to all the BS they try to up sale. The last few personal vehicles I purchased online and had them delivered and loved doing it that way, and saved thousands of dollars with no hassle

 

LOL, I usually search for the vehicle on Autotrader, then contact that dealership directly. I've bought two from Howard Bently out of Alabama and saved $8000 on the last one and they delivered it to me. There was no hassle, they even gave me more on my trade than any dealership close to Gainesville.

 

I'm pretty sure you do that now, please don't post any pics. We have to put our foot down somewhere, so no buying direct from GMC. If not move to Gainesville they're definitely doing that here and have been for a while.

 

Lol, GMC dealership
