Hey there, Orange County! We’ve got some massive news to share, and if you’ve been hunting for the perfect pre-owned ride, you’re going to want to lean in for this.
For years, Sterling Imports has been your go-to destination in Santa Ana for high-quality used cars and the kind of financing that actually works for real people. But as they say, change is the only constant, and we are changing in a big way.
Starting July 1st, Sterling Imports is officially moving to Fullerton!
We are packing up our keys, our incredible inventory, and our "Yes" attitude to head north. We couldn’t be more excited to join the Fullerton community, but we know you probably have a few questions. Whether you’re a long-time customer from Santa Ana or someone in Fullerton who’s just discovered us while searching for a "used car near me," here are the 10 most important things you need to know about our big move.
1. Mark Your Calendars: July 1st is the Big Day
The most important thing to know is the date. We will be officially opening our doors at our new Fullerton location on July 1st.
Until then, we are still operating full steam ahead at our Santa Ana location. If you’ve had your eye on a specific Audi or a sleek BMW, you don’t have to wait until July to come see us. In fact, visiting us before the move might just be the smartest move you make this month (but more on that later!).
2. Why Fullerton? It’s All About You
We love Santa Ana, and it has been an incredible home for us. However, as our inventory has grown and our family of customers has expanded across Orange County and Los Angeles County, we realized we needed a space that could better serve you.
Our new spot in Fullerton offers better accessibility for our friends coming from Anaheim, Buena Park, and Brea, while still being just a short drive for our loyal Santa Ana and Costa Mesa crowd. We wanted a location that reflected the premium quality of the vehicles we sell, a place where you can browse our luxury SUVs and reliable sedans in comfort.
3. "When Others Say No, We Say Yes" Still Applies
If there is one thing that isn't changing during this move, it’s our commitment to helping you get behind the wheel. We know that life happens. Maybe your credit score isn't where you want it to be, or perhaps you’ve been turned down by big franchise dealers because you don't have a traditional credit history.
At Sterling Imports, we specialize in "When others say no, we say yes." We work with a wide network of lenders who understand that a credit score is just a number. Whether you have bad credit, no credit, or a past bankruptcy, our mission remains the same: finding a way to get you approved.
4. ITIN Financing is Our Specialty
We are proud to serve the diverse communities of Orange County. One of the biggest hurdles many car buyers face is financing without a Social Security Number. At Sterling Imports, we are experts in ITIN financing.
If you have an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), you are welcome here. You don’t need an SSN to get a high-quality, reliable vehicle. We’ve helped hundreds of families secure auto loans using their ITIN, and we’re bringing that expertise directly to Fullerton. Just bring your ITIN letter, proof of income, and proof of residence, and we’ll handle the rest.
5. A High-End Inventory for Every Budget
While we might be famous for our flexible financing, our cars are the real stars of the show. We aren't your average "buy here pay here" lot with beat-up high-mileage cars. We specialize in premium, high-quality pre-owned vehicles.
From the sporty Lexus IS to family-ready Audi Q5s, our inventory is hand-picked.
Whether you’re looking for the fuel efficiency of a Toyota, the ruggedness of a Ford truck, or the pure luxury of a BMW, our Fullerton lot will be stocked with the best brands in the business. Every vehicle undergoes a rigorous inspection because we believe that everyone deserves a car they can be proud of and rely on.
6. Pro-Tip: Trade-In Before the Move
Are you looking to upgrade? Now is actually the perfect time to trade in your current vehicle. As we prepare for the move to Fullerton, we are looking to bolster our inventory.
To get the most value for your trade-in, here are three quick tips:
- Clean it up: A quick detail or a thorough car wash goes a long way in making a good first impression.
- Gather your records: If you have receipts for recent oil changes or new tires, bring them! It proves you’ve taken care of the car.
- Check your tech: Make sure the spare keys and floor mats are in the car. These small things add up.
Trading in your car not only gives you a great down payment for your next vehicle but can also help lower your monthly payments significantly.
7. We Still Deliver to Your Door
Can’t make it to Fullerton right away? No problem! One of our most popular services is our Home and Office Delivery. We know you’re busy. Between work, family, and the legendary OC traffic, finding time to sit in a dealership isn't always easy.
You can browse our full inventory online, complete your financing application, and we can bring the car to you for a test drive or final delivery. Whether you’re in Irvine, Huntington Beach, or right here in Fullerton, we bring the Sterling Imports experience to your doorstep.
8. The "Stress-Free" Experience is Moving With Us
Car buying has a reputation for being stressful, but we’ve spent years perfecting a "no-hassle" approach. We hate high-pressure sales tactics just as much as you do.
When you walk onto our new Fullerton lot, you’ll find the same friendly faces and straightforward pricing you’ve come to expect. Our team is here to be your consultants, not just salespeople. We’ll help you compare the Audi SQ5 against a BMW X5, explain the nuances of your loan agreement, and make sure you’re 100% comfortable before you sign anything.
9. Comprehensive Auto Repair Services
Sterling Imports isn't just a place to buy a car; it’s a place to keep your car running like new. Our commitment to you doesn't end when you drive off the lot. Our expert auto repair services are also making the move to Fullerton.
From routine maintenance like oil changes and brake jobs to more complex repairs, our technicians are trained to work on all major brands. We use high-quality parts and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to ensure your vehicle stays safe and reliable for years to come.
10. Visit Us in Santa Ana One Last Time!
While we are counting down the days until July 1st, we still have a few weeks left at our Santa Ana home. If you want to beat the "grand opening" rush in Fullerton, come see us now!
We’re running some incredible pre-move specials to make sure our transition is as smooth as possible. It’s a great time to get a deal on that Cadillac or Chevrolet you’ve been eyeing. Think of it as our "moving sale", same great quality, but with an extra incentive to help us clear the lot before we head north.
We Can't Wait to See You in Fullerton!
This move represents a new chapter for Sterling Imports, but our core values remain exactly the same. We are still the dealership that says "yes" when others say "no." We are still the home of straightforward pricing and high-quality pre-owned luxury and economy vehicles.
Whether you need bad credit financing, an ITIN loan, or just a great deal on a reliable used car, Sterling Imports is here for you.
New Address Coming Soon! Keep an eye on our website and social media for the exact address of our Fullerton location as we get closer to July 1st.
