#1 The release claims Amazon's auto business will present a big risk for credit unions and small community banks as they will not be able to compete with the mega retailer.

Didn't work for USAA. We'll see how this one goes.

#4 Given the proliferation of online scams, I could see ordering what you assume is a full size vehicle and being sent a Matchbox or Hot Wheels.

#7 We bought a car through the USAA program back in the day. Was a great experience and would 100% do it again if it were still an option. Amazon I'm really not so excited about.

#8 I'm not gonna buy a car based on a description.
I'm gonna have to see it, touch it, hear it.
(I've had a couple of good experiences with CARMAX. Called 'em, said hold it for me to look at it. Bought both of them. Still driving one of them.)
