We just purchased this 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE in Lake Forest, California, with a blown engine. Unfortunately this car only had 61k miles before the engine exploded. The customer opted not to spend $16,000 for a new engine but to cut his losses and buy a new vehicle.
Although it can be heartbreaking to sell your car in events like this, at JunkCars.com we try and make the process as painless as possible by handling all the paperwork and towing your car away for free.
