A significant (and I suspect increasing) number of car buyers do not take test drives, find dealers pushy and intimidating, and will no doubt welcome online purchasing.

With leased vehicles there is no issue of trade in value - simply return and sign up a new deal.

It also seems that the real world differences between different makes and models is increasingly limited. Many regard a car as a simple tool rather than a status statement or device to wring the last morsel of performance.

As a long term regular Amazon customer i can see the attraction, item not up standard? get in touch and Amazon sort the refund and email you a pre paid return slip, whats not to like.
