      In a world where dealers and car buyers like to take advantage of people, I really appreciate Salem's honesty and fairness. Sold our broken car to Ion a couple months ago, felt it was a reasonable price given that the car didn't start. I also felt he was honest in telling us what he thought the value of the car was. Selling was as close to painless as it gets. Thanks Salem.

      I had such a great experience selling my car with Salem. He was very friendly and trustworthy. The process was quick - we met up, he checked out the car, drove it around and gave me a price I couldn't refuse. I wasted so much time getting low offers from dealerships when I should've went to him in the first place. I would definitely consider working with him again in the future!

      Thanks Salem!

      I had a great exprience with Salem in selling my Camry. We communicated in the phone, and he showed up to take a drive of car, then we filled up forms and closed the deal. He was fun and professional. Highly recommended.

      Highly recommend Ion Cars! Salem was very accommodating and drove to me to evaluate my car and came back a week later when I wanted to sell it to him. His offer was better than what I was finding online, and he made the process very easy. Would highly recommend!

      Just finished meeting with Salem and had a positive experience with him and selling him my car. We took a short test drive together so that he could get a fair evaluation. Salem made me an offer that I was more than happy with and even told him it was up to him if he wanted to buy it. Very smooth and efficient process. A couple signatures here and there and I walked away with my check and Salem got my car. 10/10 and will refer to friends in the future.

      I recently made the difficult decision of selling my beloved car.

      I've had the Passat since 2004, so it's hard to remember a time when it wasn't in my life (okay, maybe I have a bad memory). I decided to go with Ion Cars because I knew it would be a faster, more comfortable experience than Craigslist, even though I could potentially make more money selling through the latter.

      Salem was very kind and professional from the start, understanding well the challenges of the selling experience. He offered me a fair price, and I can sleep well knowing his team will get the car ready for its next owner, so that someone else can enjoy the car I no longer require.

      I met with Salem in San Francisco and he checked out my car. In about 30 minutes, I was on my way with a check in hand. He handled all the paperwork with the DMV. I didn't have to worry about a single thing.

      If you're looking to sell your car without hassle, I'd recommend Ion Cars. Salem's a great guy who genuinely cares about his clients and it truly shows.

      Salem at Ion is a true pleasure to deal with. Arrived at my condo exactly on time, checked car very carefully, and gave fair price. Highly recommend him to anyone who does not want to bother selling privately.

      THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY OR SELL YOUR CAR AT!!

      Salem is a pro, dealing with him was easy, simple and straightforward. I recently sold him my car, just few days before traveling. He didn't try to take advantage of my situation like the other dealers out there. He offered me the best deal!


      If you are in the market to sell or buy a car, save your time and effort! Contact Salem now!

      Thanks again for everything! Cheers

      This review has been a long time coming. What can I say that everyone hasn't said already? Salem is the antithesis of your typical cars salesman. He is honest and has a ton of integrity. He truly wants to do what's best for you (the customer), going above and beyond all the time.

      I first encountered Salem when Ion cars about 7 years ago when it was located in San Francisco. I wanted to see if he would purchase my Volkswagon Passat. He offered a price (a fair one and more than I could get on a trade in), but also said I would probably end up getting a better price selling it privately. I did end up going that route but didn't forget Salem. I really appreciated his straight talk and service to the customer.

      A few years back, I did sell him a Honda CRV. I came to the dealership with a number in mind. He offered me a bit more than anticipated, and I took the offer on the spot. He ensured everything with the car and we had a deal.

      Last year, I approached Salem about trying to find a Prius C at a certain price point, year, and mileage. He checked out various sites over the next month or so until he found something that met the criteria. He gave me a call and let me know the total cost before preceding. I gave him the green light to get the car. A few weeks later the car was ready for pick up, as described (looking new).

      Time and time again Salem has been there for me, and I wouldn't go to anyone else with car needs or questions. I hope this review just reinforces what previous people have said. Thanks, Salem!

      Salem is the very best. He is not only handsome, but very nice and pleasant. I appreciate his honesty. Very happy to hear his compliment on my car, since I loved driving my BMW. He is responsive and fair. The whole process took about 30 min. It's sad to bid goodbye to my car, but i know that it's in good hands now. Thumbs up and up!
