Just wait until you see cars from “brands” like Tisosh, Frauej, and ZXCVBNM
Or even worse yet, Chrysler.
Will it be free shipping since it’s over $35? And will they honor 30-day returns?
Wait till you get a whole pallet of Hyundais when you only ordered one…
Or when a brand new “Huynday” appears on your doorstep.
Sorry, we can’t refund that. Wasn’t Prime. Please contact the seller, qinxihcthiqixhizysqyttizxciic xzihchizizzyq, for further assistance.
Just scan the code and drop the car into the locker
Love that 30 day warranty
You wouldn’t download a car.
You bet I would…except when I have to pay for it.
Fear not—there’s no one-click option, so no one should be in any danger of absent-mindedly buying a brand-new Palisade.
Well that’s reassuring. I was getting worried. I honestly hate when that happens.
Are they going to be binning those too?
How “big” is this news in the US? Non-US lemmy here.
This is the first I’m hearing about it. I don’t know why anyone would be excited about this.
Does this mean I won’t need to go to a dealership, play games to get a fair price, have the dealer’s branding permanently affixed to my car, and be constantly hounded by the dealership to buy more things from them?
But if it means the car is going to come with mandatory Alexa I’m out.
Given the Kindle Fire, ads will stream to the occupants if nothing is playing over the audio system. There would be no way to install a third party sound system because it is also the computer.
No, my understanding of this is that Amazon is just a storefront for dealers. Your entire transaction will be with the dealer, because Amazon is not allowed to sell new cars
If you go to the Hyundai Shop on amazon, it basically just gives you a list of local dealers and their listed financing price. If you click “begin purchase”, it just figures out if you want to finance it or pay in cash.
So I guess – yes? You at least don’t have to play games, though I suspect the pricing is higher versus at the dealership directly.
lol, I looked at the cheapest Ioniq 5 in my area on Amazon and at the dealer’s website. $8500 cheaper directly from the dealer since they offer $7500 off for using their preferred lender. $1000 cheaper if you don’t use their lender
Yes, but do you actually get that cheaper price when you walk into the dealership? Or is that just the bait they dangle in front of you to get you there so they can play their pricing games with you?
Hard to say without going in, but the list price is still $1000 less.
They will probably ship each one in a giant container-shaped box.

The list of cities where this is available simply reaffirms the AP’s take on dateline cities. It’s a useful list for geography buffs but incompetent at suggesting the scale of operations for anyone else.
I would be very surprised if that is why Amazon chose those cities. Having worked there, they would have pulled demographic data to see how many new cars are sold each year and released in the highest volume cities with dealers willing to work with them.
