Amazon Autos is rolling out an online way to buy, sell, or lease cars through local dealers, and Prime members who trade in an old vehicle and purchase or lease a new or certified pre-owned car can receive a $1,500 Amazon gift card. The offer runs until June 2
Amazon just made car shopping feel a little less like walking into a room where you can’t leave.
Amazon Autos now lets Prime members browse cars. trucks. and SUVs from local dealerships and handle buying. selling. or leasing online—without negotiating face-to-face with salespeople. Prime members can also qualify for a $1. 500 Amazon gift card when they purchase or lease a new vehicle through the service.
The process is built to look familiar if you’ve shopped online before. Like Carvana. Amazon Autos offers a selection sourced from local dealers. so you can take your time finding a vehicle that fits your budget. You can set up financing options and payment plans online. and you can schedule a test drive for the car you want.
Once you complete checkout, you pick up the vehicle at your selected dealership within a few days. If your dealership allows it, you may also be able to return a new or used car within 3-7 days if you’re not satisfied.
To get the $1. 500 gift card. Prime members must trade in their old vehicle and purchase a new. used. or certified pre-owned car through Amazon Autos. The offer doesn’t apply to current employees of Amazon Autos or affiliated dealerships. It also comes with detailed terms and conditions for employees of specific car manufacturers. along with credit conditions for buyers—readers are warned to check the full list before moving forward.
There’s also a wait built into the deal. After purchase, it can take up to two weeks for the gift card voucher to arrive by email.
The offer is running until June 26, 2026. Deals can also sell out or expire earlier.
The pitch is simple: buying or trading in a vehicle can be exhausting. and Amazon Autos is aiming to remove the most stressful parts by partnering with local dealerships while letting shoppers browse inventory and set up payment plans online. For one person who has gone through the process several times. the company’s promise landed in a straightforward way—turning a once-hassle-heavy routine into something closer to “quick and painless.” That’s also why the deal was given a 5/5 Editor’s rating.
If you miss this one, the message tied to the deal is that replacements keep coming. The offer notes that the best deals can change quickly, and ZDNET says its team regularly checks whether promotions are still live and obtainable.

So you just buy a car like it’s Prime delivery now? wild.
I don’t trust “no negotiating” tbh. Like the sales guy just moves behind the scenes and you still get played. Also gift card voucher taking up to two weeks… cool cool.
Wait so you don’t even have to talk to a dealer but you still pick up at the dealership? That makes no sense. And the trade-in requirement like… what if you don’t have an old car ready? Seems like a scam filter.
This is just Carvana with extra steps and a Bezos smile. $1,500 sounds nice but “terms and conditions” always mean restrictions. Return within 3-7 days if the dealership allows it?? so basically maybe. I’d rather just go in and see the actual numbers than click around for two weeks waiting on an email.
