SterlingCars.lk was launched by Sterling Automobiles Lanka Ltd. – one of Sri Lanka’s prominent automobile service providers. SterlingCars.lk is a web platform which aims to provide a marketplace for buying and selling automobiles. The website offers a comprehensive range of vehicles, covering a plethora of makes and models.

The design of SterlingCars.lk aims to provide a free of charge, simple, fast and reliable buying and selling experience to consumers. Through this website Sterling Automobiles aims to drive online sales for cars of all makes and models, and hopes that it will be an ideal platform for potential vehicle buyers and sellers to get the right value for a product.

Moreover, vehicle sellers who opt to sell through SterlingCars.lk has the option of obtaining a Multipoint Inspection Certificate from Sterling Aftercare Centre. The site will distinguish those vehicles that have received the Multipoint Inspection Certificate – meaning that the vehicle on sale has been inspected and its condition is certified by the expert technicians at Sterling Aftercare. Not only will this concept add value to the vehicles on sale, it will also provide an assurance to buyers about the quality of the vehicle. Furthermore, automobiles that are sold via the website will be entitled for labour free full services from Sterling Aftercare Centre for one year from the date of sale. 

In addition, upon receiving automobile services and repairs from Sterling Aftercare Centre, customers who have purchased their vehicles via SterlingCars.lk will also be entitled to join Sterling Aftercare Centre’s Sterling Steorra Loyalty Program. The Steorra Loyalty program will enable customers to opt for a Sterling-HNB co-branded Visa debit card and turn the loyalty points they earn into cash; and use it anywhere in the world.

Another key feature of SterlingCars.lk is its ability to display the leasing instalment of a particular vehicle uploaded onto the website. For an instance, a potential vehicle buyer can peruse through the vehicles and upon selecting a particular vehicle listing, he or she can obtain information about the leasing instalment that needs to be paid for that vehicle. To enable this, Sterling Cars has partnered with leading leasing companies in the country, with the aim of providing a holistic solution for vehicle buyers.

The website allows users to seamlessly upload ads onto the site and have them displayed within 2-3 hours of posting. All ads will be subjected to a verification and approval process, to ensure that they follow the site’s terms of use, and the information published are correct and as genuine as possible.

The site is made to be responsive across all devices such as desktop computers, mobiles, tabs and etc, to offer an interactive user experience and to enhance ease of use. As a company that envisions to build longstanding relationships with customers on the basis of trust and reliability, Sterling Automobiles Lanka believes that this is a step forward in their journey of providing the total scope of solutions when it comes to owning an automobile in Sri Lanka.
