Ford Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are now Available on Amazon

Customers can now shop for, finance, and purchase Ford Blue Advantage certified pre-owned (CPO) Ford vehicles on Amazon Autos. This new collaboration allows customers to browse a participating local dealer's inventory directly through Amazon's website, complete most of the paperwork online, and then schedule a convenient time to pick up the selected vehicle. 

Every vehicle is backed by a Ford Blue Advantage warranty, which means it has passed a thorough multi-point inspection and comes with roadside assistance. This program combines the trust and quality of a Ford-certified vehicle with the familiar, convenient shopping experience of Amazon. 

Key Program Features

• 14-Day/1,000-Mile Money-Back Guarantee: All certified pre-owned vehicles sold by participating Ford dealers on Amazon Autos come with a money-back guarantee, allowing customers to return the vehicle within 14 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first. 
• Three Tiers of Certification: Ford offers different levels of certification to meet customer needs. 
  • Gold Certified: For Ford vehicles up to six years old with less 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: This can include 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: For electric Ford vehicles up to six years old with less than 80,000 miles. They receive a specialized 127-point inspection and the same comprehensive warranty coverage as Gold Certified vehicles. 
  • Online Shopping and Financing: Customers can browse participating inventory within a 75-mile radius, view itemized pricing, and secure financing from a selection of banks, including Ford Credit, all on Amazon. 
• Dealer Relationship: The customer relationship remains with the local participating Ford dealer, who handles pricing, vehicle pickup, and all future service needs. Amazon facilitates the initial online transaction. 

Availability: The program is launching in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas, with plans to expand to additional markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

Q: What is the Ford and Amazon Autos collaboration? 
A: Participating Ford dealers can now list their certified pre-owned vehicles on Amazon Autos, a dedicated section of Amazon for automotive shopping. This gives customers a new way to browse, compare, and purchase Ford CPO vehicles online, backed by Ford’s certification and warranty. 

Q: What’s the difference between a certified pre-owned Ford and a regular used car? 
A: Certified pre-owned Fords go through a thorough inspection and reconditioning process by Ford factory-trained technicians. They come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, Ford Rewards points, and other benefits. This gives customers peace of mind and added value compared to standard used vehicles. 

Q: How do customers find a certified pre-owned Ford on Amazon? 
A: Customers can visit Amazon Autos, use the search filters to select “certified pre-owned,” and see available Ford vehicles in their area. There will also be a dedicated Ford Blue Advantage landing page explaining the benefits and certification levels. 

Q: Can customers complete the entire purchase online? 
A: Yes, customers can go from browsing to purchase on Amazon, including applying for financing and estimating payments. The only step left is to pick up the vehicle at the dealership — no Amazon Prime delivery for cars! 

Q: Who manages the relationship after a car is purchased through Amazon Autos? 
A: The relationship remains with the participating Ford dealer. Amazon simply facilitates the transaction; all follow-up, service, and privacy matters are handled by the dealer, not Amazon. 

Q: Is financing available? 
A: Financing is available through a selection of banks chosen by the dealer, including Ford Credit. Customers can choose the option that works best for them. 

Q: Where is the Ford Amazon Autos program available? 
A: The program is starting in major metro areas like California, Texas, and Florida, with marketing focused there first. However, any Ford dealer can sign up, and the program is expected to grow as more dealers join. 

Q: What are the customer benefits of buying a CPO Ford on Amazon? 
A: Customers get a vehicle that’s been inspected, reconditioned, and comes with a Ford warranty, Ford Rewards points, and in some cases, a money-back guarantee. It’s a convenient, trusted way to shop for a used car online. 

Q: Are there any early results or feedback from dealers? 
A: The program is new, but initial dealer sign-ups have been positive, with about 160-180 dealers expressing interest and around 20 already launched or launching soon. Ford is gathering feedback to share more insights as the program grows.
