Two problems with that. First, lots of warranties and manufacturer sales incentives are not eligible on used cars. Second, for them to sell it to you used...they themselves would have to be a dealer.
I’m not sure about that last part. I’ve purchased a vehicle from a company before. A used work truck.
Either way… I’m not buying a car from Amazon.
In at least some states, to sell more than XX cars per year, you must have a dealer license.
A company vehicle is really no different than a personal vehicle, at least not in this context. They own a truck (titled to them), they can sell a truck via private sale. They don't get any sort of dealer perks (such as not being listed in the history as an owner), they are just selling their property.
