Change is in the air at Sterling Imports, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the news with our incredible community. If you’ve driven by our Santa Ana lot recently, you might have heard the buzz: Sterling Imports is moving to Fullerton on July 1st!
For years, we’ve been proud to serve the Santa Ana and greater Orange County area, helping thousands of drivers get behind the wheel of a car they love. But as our family of customers grows, so does our need for a space that can better accommodate our massive inventory and the high level of service you’ve come to expect. This move isn’t just about a new zip code; it’s about leveling up the car-buying experience for everyone in Fullerton, Anaheim, and across Southern California.
But don’t worry, while our address is changing, our mission remains exactly the same. We are still the dealership that says "Yes" when everyone else says "No." Whether you’re coming to see us for our "Yes" financing, our curated selection of BMWs and Toyotas, or to get a top-dollar trade-in, we’re ready to welcome you to our new home.
Mark Your Calendars: The Big Move on July 1st
Starting July 1st, 2026, Sterling Imports will officially be open for business in Fullerton. We’ve designed our new location to be a one-stop shop for everything automotive. From an expanded showroom to a more streamlined financing department, every square inch of the new Fullerton spot is dedicated to making your visit stress-free and enjoyable.
Why Fullerton? We wanted to be more centrally located for our friends coming from North Orange County and Los Angeles County. Whether you’re a student at Cal State Fullerton looking for your first reliable commuter or a family in Brea needing a spacious SUV, our new home makes it easier than ever to reach us.
Until June 30th, we are still operating at full steam in Santa Ana. In fact, we’re running some "Move-In Specials" to help lighten our inventory before the big day. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to buy, this is it.
The "Yes" Financing Approach: ITIN, Bad Credit, No Problem
At Sterling Imports, we know that life happens. Maybe your credit score took a hit during a job transition, or perhaps you’re a hard-working individual using an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) rather than a Social Security Number. At many dealerships, those factors result in a quick "No."
At Sterling Imports, we take a different path. Our USP is simple: When others say no, we say yes.

How We Get You Approved
We specialize in flexible financing solutions that look at the whole picture, not just a three-digit number on a credit report. Here’s how we make it happen:
- ITIN Financing: We believe everyone deserves access to reliable transportation. If you have an ITIN, we have lenders who are ready to work with you. You don’t need a Social Security Number to drive away in a high-quality vehicle.
- Bad Credit or No Credit: Whether you’ve had a past repossession, bankruptcy, or just haven't had the chance to build credit yet, our team has the experience to find a loan structure that fits your budget.
- Relationships with Lenders: Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with a wide network of lenders who understand our "Yes" philosophy. This allows us to advocate for you and secure terms that work.
- Straightforward Pricing: No-hassle service means we’re transparent about what you’re paying. We want you to feel confident in your purchase, not pressured.
We serve both English and Spanish-speaking customers, ensuring that everyone who walks through our doors feels heard and respected. Our goal is to provide a stress-free car buying experience that gets you back on the road with a smile.
A Look at the Lot: From Luxury to Reliability
Moving to a bigger space in Fullerton means we can showcase even more of the vehicles you love. We pride ourselves on a diverse inventory that caters to every lifestyle and budget. Whether you’re looking for a fuel-efficient sedan for the 405 commute or a rugged SUV for weekend trips to the mountains, we’ve got you covered.

Vehicle Highlights
- The Commuter Kings (Toyota & Honda): There’s a reason Toyota and Honda remain top sellers. Their reliability is unmatched. We frequently stock late-model Camrys, Corollas, and Civics that are perfect for those who want peace of mind and great gas mileage.
- Luxury & Performance (BMW & Audi): Want to turn heads in Fullerton? Our selection of BMWs and Audis offers the perfect blend of German engineering and sophisticated style. Check out our Audi inventory to see what’s currently available.
- The Electric Future (Tesla): Looking to skip the gas pump entirely? We carry pre-owned Teslas that offer cutting-edge technology and incredible performance without the brand-new price tag.
- Family-Ready (Ford, GMC, & Jeep): From the versatility of a Ford Explorer to the off-road capability of a Jeep Wrangler, we have the SUVs and trucks that Orange County families need.
Every vehicle on our lot undergoes a rigorous inspection process. We only sell cars we’d be proud to drive ourselves.
Trade-In Tips: Maximize Your Value Before the Move
Are you looking to upgrade? Trading in your current vehicle is one of the smartest ways to lower your monthly payments on a "new-to-you" car. Since we’re preparing for our move to Fullerton, we are looking to bolster our inventory and are offering top-dollar for trade-ins right now.

To get the most value for your trade-in, keep these tips in mind:
- Clean It Up: You don’t need a full professional detail, but a good wash and vacuuming go a long way in making a great first impression.
- Gather Your Paperwork: Having your maintenance records and title ready can speed up the process and show the appraiser that the car has been well-cared for.
- Small Fixes Matter: Check for minor issues like a burnt-out headlight or a low tire pressure light. These small fixes can prevent an appraiser from wondering what else might be wrong with the car.
- Be Realistic: Use online tools to get a ballpark idea of your car's value, but remember that local market demand in Orange County plays a big role in the final offer.
At Sterling Imports, our trade-in process is as straightforward as our financing. We’ll give you a fair, transparent offer that you can put directly toward your next vehicle.
Serving Santa Ana, Fullerton, and Beyond
While we are moving our physical location, our commitment to the Orange County community remains unshakable. We are proud to be a part of the vibrant culture here, and we can’t wait to become a staple of the Fullerton business landscape.
Our home/office delivery service will continue to be a cornerstone of what we do. If you can’t make it to the lot, we can bring the car to you! This is part of our commitment to a no-hassle, stress-free experience. Whether you are in Anaheim, Irvine, Garden Grove, or Fullerton, Sterling Imports is your neighbor in the automotive world.

The countdown to July 1st is on. We invite you to visit us at our current Santa Ana location to take advantage of our pre-move deals. Whether you need a fresh start with our "Yes" financing or you’re hunting for a specific BMW or Toyota, our team is here to help.
