Now, you can buy cars on Amazon (US website). It works just like the rest of the Amazon: you search for Lamborghini aventador, select the colour, add to cart, do the payment, and done. Your car will be delivered in 2-4 business days. (Amazon will handle the paperwork/registration as well). This new business is called Amazon Autos. Amazon believes that people don't like to bargain and negotiate with physical car dealerships. On Amazon, they will see fixed price, no hidden fees. For car companies, Amazon offers huge reach. No other car dealership can offer this. What do you think- will you buy Lamborghini aventador on Amazon?

Just ‘add to cart’ and wait for your driveway to upgrade in 2 days! Bold. Buying a car on Amazon sounds great until you realize - test drives aren’t Prime eligible! The excitement fades when a ~$300,000 Lamborghini arrives with a ‘package delivered’ email. Add in the hassle of returning a dented Aventador, and suddenly, the dealership handshake doesn’t seem so bad. Cars aren’t toasters - they need trust, not just clicks. Amazon Autos might deliver speed, but it risks stalling on customer confidence, and other atrocities.

I believe this post just made the impact amazon wanted. People will now go search for a car on amazon just to see if it’s real (or maybe fun). It’s just to grab eyes of the user, and once they are on the website they might end up buying something? Even if not now they now will remember amazon when they want to buy something next time. P.S. that’s all my personal opinion, there might be a huge market for online autos. :)

It was like 10 mins before I was discussing with a friend that it could be soon that we will be buying cars on Zepto. Maybe Spinny x Zepto :))

Cars that sell well will likely continue to do well on Amazon too - it’s the cars that don’t that a company requires a wide (and compliant) dealer network for. Car companies force their dealers to “pick/buy” the inventory that no is buying. I doubt if Amazon would be as submissive in similar situations. But certainty for a customer interaction with dealers is the biggest sore point in their buying journey. Dealers who are able to pull up their socks and become efficient and customer centric will continue to prosper (Amazon or no Amazon)

You reckon Amazon collabs with IRCTC? Sell random train tickets on Amazon. You wanna go Delhi to Mumbai in last week of December? I don’t think so! How about you go from Ahmedabad to Bangalore instead in Feb?

The Generic EV is a design which will sell very well on Amazon. No charging station required as it charges from the panels on all horizontal surfaces and uses the same technology Ford uses in its Hybrid. Search Amazon for American Driven and buy now. https://youtu.be/5GjnxG3Xexg?feature=shared
