The guys at SVE are amazing! Matthew and Raman were incredibly helpful. I saw that they posted a 2021 Supra 3.0 Premium and made an inquiry about the car. Matthew responded in a timely manner and provided details about the car. After our conversation over the phone, he connected me to Raman to move forward with getting a loan. Raman was extremely helpful and went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend them!

I was prepared for the “typical used car buying experience”, but I came away seriously impressed with the responsiveness and the courtesy of the sales team.
We conducted the entire transaction online (I’m an out-of-state buyer). Aramais sent me pictures and videos of the car exactly as I asked him to, was quick to respond, and kept me well-informed along the way.
The car is on its way to me from California on a transporter as I write this review, and I’ll come back with further updates as needed.
But just the sales part of it was absolutely painless. Check them out if you’re in the market for a secondhand car, whether affordable or high-end.

Upsetting that they have some of the cars I'd actually like to buy, but they're not trustworthy and reading other reviews do not provide proper care to the cars or customers after the sale. You'd think with that name they'd cater to actual enthusiasts, but instead they must be selling cars to people who know nothing about cars.
Response: Nope, I've closed plenty of deals without issue. I suppose you wouldn't know what a well-researched pre-approved buyer would look like, because reading all your reviews they run for the hills from you. I didn't highlight something that's not already prevalent, but I do like the passive aggressive tone you took, I'm sure it endeared a lot of people.

The most pleasant car-buying transaction I have ever experienced, thanks to Ari and Max. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Plus, they have an incredible variety of cars to select from. When I am in the market to purchase another car, they will be my first stop. We love the car we purchased, it was exactly what we were looking for! Check them out, you won't be sorry!

Very solid dealer ship, just purchased one of there bmw’s. owner of sve is super kind and super helpful never tried to rush me into my decision to buy. Since i wasn’t local, when it comes to any questions about vehicle's he did everything he could to send me videos and pictures of what i was trying to see. Since i don't live near the area i had to get a car shipped through a transport company. SVE set up the whole process for me and kept up with update's so that there was very little work on my end. Had to have a lot of trust buying and getting a vehicle transported and they delivered that trust.

I bought a 2001 Audi TT at Silicon Valley Enthusiast in July 2024. I wanted a manual transmission car. I know how to drive a car, but I'm not a person who can spot car problems or understand the issues. They had an Audi TT that I liked. It drove fine. I decided to buy it. I needed to finance it since I didn't have enough cash to pay for it. My bank wouldn't do it because the car was too old. However, Aramais of Silicon Valley Enthusiast contacted their financing expert, and I bought the car. Only after this I took the car to a car shop. They told me that both left and right front lower control arms, a ball joint, a front strut assembly, and rear shock absorbers needed replacement. I also needed new tires. Soon after that, I discovered that I needed a new alternator. While I wished there were no issues, nothing was significant, and I think I got a good car from Silicon Valley Enthusiast and Aramais.
PS1. I should have bargained :-) .
PS2. Since then, I've learned that modern cars have OBD-II ports beneath the dashboard on the driver's side. If you connect a vehicle-specific scanner, you can get lots of information about the car you are buying from this. I'd advise you to do it. Or better yet, bring a friendly car person who can do the scan and advise you on a car.

Happy with my purchase, happy with the service. Highly recommend checking them out when in the market for a vehicle (and will return if I find myself in that situation again). Everyone was friendly and approachable, no pressure, good quality vehicle and fair pricing.

We recently bought a Tesla from SVE. Everyone there was extremely helpful and made the buying process so smooth. We didn’t feel obligated or harassed to buy the car while we were there shopping and they even told us to go have lunch and talk it over and they would be there if/when we were ready! They gave us a great deal on our trade in as well.
We ended up buying the car that day and was approved within an hour. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or trade in for something else. We will definitely be buying from them again!

I bought my 2012 Subaru Impreza on April 29th from SVE and wanted to make sure I loved it before writing a review. Since having the car for a few months I can confidently say SVE is an excellent choice for your car buying needs.
While they're more of a place for people looking for car collections or specific uncommon makes they still have time to work with average buyers like myself. I worked with both Aramais and Raman as well as some of the other guys there and everyone was incredibly helpful. The environment is very relaxed while still professional. The company is built around their love of cars not around getting your money and it really shows.
They'll let you ACTUALLY test drive the car (not just a lap around the block which tells you nothing about how it drives). We went onto the highway and the side streets and I really got a feel for how the car drives.
I was also about to get the car inspected by a mobile mechanic prior to purchase (thank you, Charles). I highly recommend this with any used car from ANYWHERE so you know what you're buying. The car being 12 years old had some reasonable wear and repairs needed but nothing immediate or too expensive. Don't blame a seller because you didn't do this step.
When deciding to buy the car they were incredibly helpful with assisting in getting financing settled at a price and rate that I didn't feel taken advantage of (looking at you, dealerships).
Overall, do you research and find a car you want and if SVE has it you're in good hands! Highly recommend these guys for your car buying needs.
And, if you're lucky, you can even hold the pet snake, Cheater, that lives at the store!!!

When I first arrived here, the guy gave us a lot of attitude until he saw my credit score. We didn't hear from them for months, when I followed up then they said the car was sold and had no paperwork or documentation on its sale price. I wouldn't recommend this place, they need to know how to treat customers & do what they say they're going to do. I'm sure the car sold for the Kelley Blue book value, we only got half that. Overall, I would recommend going somewhere else where they care about getting future referrals.

Yeah this place just kinda sucks.
Looked at a vehicle here. They barely know anything about the cars they’re selling. Don’t waste your time.

Excellent experience overall. Matthew worked hard to give me lots of information about the car, took me for a test drive, and then transported the car to a nearby mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection. I didn't feel pressured to buy and closing the deal was straightforward.
Slight pressure in purchasing an additional warranty, but in the end I agreed with their opinion and added a three-year (fairly) comprehensive warranty.
Overall I'd be thrilled to buy from them again.

I liked the service, without marketing advertizing, impression or pressure. They told and showed all the nuances of the car, without hiding the disadvantages. During the test drive they behaved very patiently, despite my active driving style. I can say that the people working there left a very positive impression. I can recommend.
