Yes, You Can Actually Buy a Car on Amazon—Here’s How to Do It (Without Freaking Out)
Amazon has revolutionized online shopping, and now, it’s taking on the auto industry. Hyundai is the first car brand to be available for purchase through Amazon, making car buying more convenient than ever. If you’re curious about how this process works, this guide will walk you through the step-by-step process, supported by screenshots to ensure a smooth experience.
For a step-by-step video guide, watch this YouTube walkthrough on how to start the process of buying a Hyundai on Amazon.
Step 1: Browse Hyundai Vehicles on Amazon
The journey begins on the Amazon Hyundai Store. Here, you can browse Hyundai’s latest models, including SUVs, electric vehicles, and sedans. The homepage showcases various models with pricing and features, similar to how you would browse for any other product on Amazon.
Step 2: Select a Hyundai Model and Trim
Once you find the model you’re interested in, click on it to see detailed specifications, trims, and pricing. In this example, we’ll look at the 2025 Hyundai Tucson, which starts at $28,605.
Step 3: Customize Your Vehicle
Amazon allows you to configure your Hyundai by selecting different trims, colors, and features. For this guide, we chose the Tucson Limited trim, which includes a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, Bose premium audio, and blind-spot view monitoring.
Step 4: Locate and Compare Available Inventory
After customizing your vehicle, Amazon shows available inventory near your location. You can compare multiple vehicles, including different price points, VIN numbers, and specific dealership listings.
Step 5: Review the Vehicle Listing
Once you select a vehicle, you’ll be redirected to the specific Amazon product page, where you can see more details, dealership information, pricing breakdowns, and financing options.
Step 6: Estimate Your Monthly Payments
Amazon provides a built-in financing estimator where you can input your credit score, loan term, and down payment to calculate your estimated monthly payment.
Step 7: Choose Payment Method (Finance or Pay in Full)
At checkout, Amazon gives you the option to finance the vehicle or pay in full. If you choose to finance, you’ll need to provide employment details, driver’s license information, and your Social Security number.
Step 8: Trade-In Option
If you have a trade-in, you can enter details about your current vehicle to receive an instant offer. The trade-in process is integrated into the Amazon platform, making it seamless.
Step 9: Finalizing the Order and Signing Contracts
After selecting your payment method and trade-in status, you’ll complete your order. Amazon estimates that finalizing the financing and payment process takes around 30 minutes. After completing your order, you’ll sign the necessary contracts 3 hours later.
A Game-Changer for Car Buying?
Amazon’s move into online car sales is a game-changer, bringing convenience and transparency to the process. From browsing and customizing your vehicle to securing financing and picking it up at a dealership, Amazon is redefining car buying—making it almost as effortless as ordering your everyday essentials.
