Truecar has been doing this for a while, I guess Amazon finally want to have a share of this market too (and the data associated with it).
As far as I can tell Amazon Vehicles is overcharging for the cars by at least 5-10% ( the car I currently drive, they are charging 25%!! more than I paid).
This isn't a nightmare for Car Dealers. This is a nightmare for consumers because they will take the prices Amazon quote seriously.
- balls187 10y agoWhere are you seeing amazon is charging for cars--have any links available? All I could find were Cars that could be added to a virtual garage, presumably to ensure compatibility with any automotive parts purchasing.

- balls187 10y agoAh, thanks for the clarification.
