Amazon booked for US car sales

NEWS Amazon.com is to join forces with internet car dealer Greenlight.com to sell cars online in the US. The site, due to launch this week, will carry the brand name of both companies, but will operate under the Greenlight.com name. Amazon bought a five per cent stake in Greenlight.com earlier this year, and despite the recent closure of major rival, CarOrder.com, Greenlight has just raised $39m in third round funding. The deal comes just a week after Living.com, a venture in which Amazon owned 18 per cent, closed shop.
