How It Works

At Sterling Auto Locators, we don't have a used car lot or pushy used car salesmen. We're different. Instead, we invite our customers in to tell us the exact car they want to buy, and we find it for them through dealer-only auctions. Click here...

Why Our Customers Love Us!

"I like to save money, get a good deal and I want a great product. I looked at most every type and model of sports car available, new and used. For what I was being asked to pay for a new Japanese sports car, I got a lease retuned European luxury sports car with less than 20,000 from the guys at Sterling Motors. Go talk to the guys at Sterling, I don’t think you will be disappointed."

How Does Sterling Auto Locators' Service Work?


Step 1...Discovery

When you start the buying process with Sterling Auto Locators, we will spend the time getting to know you and assisting you in selecting the vehicle(s) you want us to find for you, including make, model, color, interior, miles, year, etc. (We can get you most any late model pre-owned vehicle and we can get it from whichever source has the lowest prices and pass the saving on to YOU. We get a large percentage of our cars from lease returns and manufacture sales. We can deliver a car to you at a lower price than if you spent hours negotiating at a local car lot.)

Step 2...Locate
We spend the time necessary to find you vehicles in excellent condition for your selection. We search a nation-wide inventory of quality pre-owned vehicles available only to dealers. We do not buy vehicles off eBay or Craigslist, the risks can be greater than we like.

Why Wholesale Dealer-Only Auctions? Because we are licensed and bonded in the Nevada, we have access to an average of over 100,000 quality pre-owned vehicles daily for our customers to select from. Don't be fooled by consumer auctions as they are not truly wholesale because you are paying sales tax and there is usually a 10% buyer’s fee on top of your bid price. At Sterling Motors, we provide YOU with detailed condition reports and vehicle history reports so you can make an informed decision. You can even come in and watch the auction live as we purchase your car for you. Ask us about our "You Pick, We Click" program.

Step 3...Selection

When we find cars that meet your criteria, we contact you through e-mail or phone. You are provided with detailed information on the selected vehicle’s condition, history and any questions you have are addressed. This allows you to browse through the selection and give us a call when you have selected the one that you want to purchase. Once you decide on your vehicle, we will give you our best no haggle price. 

Step 4...Purchase
Once you decide on your vehicle, a Locate Agreement is signed and a refundable deposit is made, we then enter the dealer auction on you behalf to buy your car. If we are out-bid by another dealer, with your permission in advance we either increase the bid to your approved maximum or we will decide together to try to bid on another vehicle of your choice. If we have out-bid the competition (used car lots) on your vehicle, then we have made a great deal for you.

Step 5...Delivery

Next we have it delivered to our service center for multipoint inspection, any

refurbishment, detailed, the paperwork completed and waiting for you.

If you want to take the car to your mechanic to be inspected, we welcome it.

Buying a car from Sterling Motors could not be any easier. Our customers love our service.
