Amazon is looking into moving into the used-car sales space.
You can already buy Hyundais from Amazon, as Chris notes -- you've probably seen the TV commercials -- but would you buy a used car from the site?
Amazon might also pair with more OEMs for new-car sales, as well.
To be clear, while the online process is done via Amazon, the cars come from local dealers' lots.

There's also this -- whether buying via Amazon or not, you can't test drive a car online. I'd imagine anyone buying online has at least test-driven the vehicle they have their eye on -- but maybe some people just don't care?
You know what to do. Go ahead and sound off below.
