Amazon’s online car shopping platform is expanding its inventory to include certified pre-owned Ford vehicles, marking another step forward for a marketplace that only launched a few months ago. Buyers in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas will get initial access, with the ability to browse used F-150s and Mustangs, handle much of the purchase paperwork online, and pick up their vehicle at a local dealership. Financing is included directly in the process, and Amazon says more cities will be added over time.
What’s Included With Ford’s Certified Program
Every Ford certified pre-owned vehicle listed on Amazon Autos comes with a 14-day or 1,000-mile return policy, whichever comes first. The vehicles are also split into certification tiers based on age, mileage, and inspection depth.
Gold-Tier Vehicles
Ford’s Gold-tier vehicles are limited to those under six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles, and each one undergoes a 172-point inspection. Gold-tier purchases include a year of included warranty coverage. Electric vehicles in this tier go through a comparable 127-point inspection focused specifically on battery health and electronic systems rather than traditional mechanical components.
Blue-Tier Vehicles
For buyers looking for a lower price point, Ford’s Blue-tier certification covers older vehicles, up to a decade old with as many as 150,000 miles, backed by a shorter 90-day warranty. Despite the relaxed age and mileage limits, Blue-tier vehicles still undergo a 139-point inspection before being listed.
Part of a Broader Amazon Strategy
Ford isn’t the first automaker to join Amazon’s car marketplace — Hyundai was the platform’s initial launch partner back in December. Ford’s expanded certified pre-owned inventory signals that Amazon is continuing to build out the platform as a legitimate alternative to traditional dealership shopping, with additional manufacturers and cities likely to follow.
