With a process similar to Carvana, Amazon Autos lets you browse a selection of cars, trucks, and SUVs from local dealerships. This means you can take your time finding the perfect car for you and your budget without having to deal with salespeople. You can also set up financing options and payment plans online, as well as schedule a test drive for the car you have your eye on.
Once you’ve selected the car you like and completed the checkout process, you can pick up your new car at your selected dealership within a few days. And if your dealership allows it, you can even return your new or used car within 3-7 days if you’re not satisfied.

To get your $1,500 Amazon gift card, Prime members must trade in their old vehicle and purchase a new, used, or certified pre-owned car through Amazon Autos. If you’re a current employee of Amazon Autos or an affiliated dealership, you’re unfortunately excluded from the offer, and there are some very detailed terms and conditions for employees of specific car manufacturers, as well as certain credit conditions for buyers, so be sure to read the full list. You’ll also have to be patient, as it can take up to two weeks after you buy your car to get the gift card voucher in your email.
How I rated this deal

And Amazon Autos aims to make buying, selling, and trading your car as quick and painless as possible by partnering with local dealerships. You can browse inventory and set up payment plans without having to deal with overzealous salespeople. And with the chance to get a $1,500 gift card, you’ll have a little extra cash to spend on accessories for your new car. That’s why I gave this deal a 5/5 Editor’s rating.
