Buying an air fryer or a cell phone on Amazon is a thing of the past. After prefab houses come cars. Jeff Bezos’ company launched Amazon Autoservice that welcomes vehicle configuration, financing and purchasing from your traditional app. The process, in fact, should not be much different from ordering any other product. Of course, if you don’t live in the US, you can forget about seeing a car among the deals of the day.
Amazon has signed an agreement with Hyundai in 48 US cities to begin its foray into car sales. Oddly enough, it is from this moment that a citizen of the land of freedom can Go to the Amazon website or app and order a car. Delivery, of course, even for Prime users. It’s not the next daybut the process promises to be simple and complete.
So much so that Amazon handles the financing and complete customization of the vehicle.. All, of course, with the approval of the nearest Hyundai dealer. Amazon acts as a middleman and offers the services of a local seller, simplifying everything and making it look like Tesla’s ordering system.
Of course, at this point, if you’re looking for anything other than a Hyundai, you’ll be out of luck. Well, not you, but American users who are going to buy a car. Because no matter how attractive it may seem to you, This is only accessible on the other side of the pond.. And, in case you were wondering, there are no plans to introduce a similar system to Europe. They are not expected in the near future.
What Amazon is doing is not new, Tesla offers it in many countries.
The new Amazon Auto system may seem very futuristic, but the reality is that This is not something new. That is market Given its size, offering cars is something new, but the act of setting up, financing and purchasing a car using a mobile phone is not.
Tesla has been doing this for years, even prioritizes its online ordering system over physical dealershipsa decision that the public welcomes with open arms. Key? Clearly offer all the information on your online channels and make it easy to set up and order through them.
No ghost prices which then go up in price, without discounts that you don’t know where they come from, and without offers that only some dealerships offer you. Everything is clear and the same for everyoneto which we must add a small catalog and very simple online setup and financing tools.
This is essentially the same thing that Amazon wants to achieve, and it is a good asset for physical dealers who intend to digitize their sales system. Amazon Auto seems like a good idea for everyone, but unfortunately we Europeans will have to dream about it.
