QOTD: Would You Buy a Used Car From Amazon?

qotd would you buy a used car from amazon

Amazon is looking into moving into the used-car sales space.

You can already buy Hyundais from Amazon, as Chris notes — you’ve probably seen the TV commercials — but would you buy a used car from the site?

Amazon might also pair with more OEMs for new-car sales, as well.

To be clear, while the online process is done via Amazon, the cars come from local dealers’ lots.

Still, I am curious if you would use Amazon for the shopping process? Amazon isn’t the first company to offer this sort of thing — some OEMs let you shop online in the same manner.

I spent some time looking at the process for buying a Hyundai — it seems straightforward but as with anything Amazon, the site design leaves a bit to be desired.

There’s also this — whether buying via Amazon or not, you can’t test drive a car online. I’d imagine anyone buying online has at least test-driven the vehicle they have their eye on — but maybe some people just don’t care?

You know what to do. Go ahead and sound off below.
