I plugged into a los angeles zip code to take a look at pricing.
The cars I checked, the price of Amazon was below MSRP, but exactly the same as the price of the dealership was on its site. I used a used 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 Limited passed through most of the process of purchasing – right until the final stage and just stopped to apply for financing through Amazon.

I am not sure what the price would be if I buy through the dealership, but I think I could have disturbed a little (depending on the vehicle). At least for me, the problem of quitting the dealership proceedings is probably worth saving, so I can see how to buy a car through Amazon can be attractive. And competition between similar companies like Karwana and Carmax is never a bad thing.
For now, the program is available only in Los Angeles, but it is expanding to other places. Amazon’s new-car program, which started in 50 cities in December, is already available at 130 places.
