This was the best way we have ever gotten rid of a car that we just did not want any longer. We purchased the car new from southern Florida through faxes and phone calls. It was a good car for the 19 years we had it. And working with Junk Car Medics only took a phone call and to have the car ready on the date and time we were given. And the cash was an added bonus for us! If and when we are ready to do this again, you will get a call from us!
