AMAZON TO SELL CARS

It now appears that Amazon are ready to do or sell anything as long as there is a market for it.  The online retailer is planning to sell cars in Britain.  However, it would be interesting to see how a car will fit in the letterbox.  The good news for consumers, nevertheless, is that this could slash prices and shake up the car market.

This development is hardly surprising considering that Amazon launches many of its ideas in the UK before the US and internationally.

Lisa Bedwell, of the research consultancy Future Thinking, said: 'Amazon's ambitious move to take on the automotive market and sell vehicles directly in the UK is an exciting game changer which will make established automotive traders nervous.'
