LINCOLNSHIRE, IL--(Marketwired - Jul 31, 2013) - Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam and star of CNBC's "The Profit," has acquired Car Cash, an automobile buying service founded by Bruce Baron, that has been servicing the New York City metropolitan area since 1977. The fast, simple and hassle-free service provides a direct method for consumers to sell their vehicle by receiving a free quote online, in person or via telephone and accepts almost any car, truck or SUV, including those financed and / or leased.
"I am very excited to be involved with this vibrant business. With nearly 50 million new and used vehicles sold in this country each year, people have a need to sell their vehicle and many don't have the time to rely on classified ads or possibly lose money on a trade. At Car Cash, we will provide that service and expand the business model nationwide with over 70 locations coming in the next few months," said Lemonis. "Car Cash has historically beaten trade-in prices and customers can receive their money fast. I look forward to expanding the legacy that Bruce Baron founded with the original location in New York and to have his sons, Jon and Andrew continue assisting with the business."
