In the market for a car? Soon you’ll be able to buy a Hyundai on Amazon, and only a Hyundai::This is the year you can finally buy a car on Amazon. Well, one kind. Eventually.

Couldn’t they just buy it and resell it as a used car?
They should do what Volvo is doing. Let people purchase a “subscription” online for the sticker price. Volvo has been able to get around a lot of US dealers bullshit that way.
I got a car through an early iteration of that plan. The “subscription” was basically a shorter lease with insurance bundled in and some more flexibility to cancel. No haggling. You pay the manufacturer direct, and when the subscription is done, you can buy the car used with no BS dealer markup.
A lot of dealers fought, and it’s disappeared and come back a few times. I don’t know all of the legal BS behind it, but they seem to have found some loopholes to sell direct.
Sounds like a bunch of dealers trying to stay relevant .
Two problems with that. First, lots of warranties and manufacturer sales incentives are not eligible on used cars. Second, for them to sell it to you used…they themselves would have to be a dealer.
I’m not sure about that last part. I’ve purchased a vehicle from a company before. A used work truck.
Either way… I’m not buying a car from Amazon.
In at least some states, to sell more than XX cars per year, you must have a dealer license.
A company vehicle is really no different than a personal vehicle, at least not in this context. They own a truck (titled to them), they can sell a truck via private sale. They don’t get any sort of dealer perks (such as not being listed in the history as an owner), they are just selling their property.
