Not EV specific but…
“Amazon next year will allow auto dealers to sell cars through its site, starting with Hyundai.”
“Beginning in 2024, Amazon will let shoppers purchase a new car online, then pick it up or have it delivered by their local dealership.”
when it gets delivered does the dude step back, take a photo and just leave?
Can I get 5% cash back on an Amazon card when purchasing?
No difference “BUYING” a car from Truecar or Edmonds. It’s just a lead generation.
In Indonesia, Hyundai has been doing this since the launch of Ioniq then continues with ioniq5 and 6.
But AFAIK the handover, papers, etc are still handled via dealerships
Edit: Yeah, it’s the same. Amazon listing but still handled by the dealer
Now we are talking. Eliminate the valueless dealers.
Excited! Looking forward to reading dealer reviews!
Wonder if Amazon will censor feedback?
Hopefully this will require dealers to provide a specific price on the amazon listing and honor that price at the dealership.
Otherwise, it’ll be another one of those bs, provide your phone number to have a sales person pressure you to come to the dealership and test drive before you can talk about price.
Waiting for manufacturers to directly post cars for sale on Amazon.
Can you imagine how to handle the return??? Drop it off at your local UPS store???
I wish we could cut the dealerships out altogether.
I just want to buy directly from the car manufacturer instead of having to put a deposit down at 4 hyundai dealerships just to pray one gets the color and trim I want. I dont see how going through Amazon who goes through the dealership is helpful at all
Can’t wait for the fake Amazon reviews. It’s going to be a goldmine
Worse yet who’s ready for the knock off Hyundais?!
Rip dealership market adjustment trend
Hyundai no thank you.
Am I the only person who would refuse to buy a car without driving the exact car?
