"Thanks once again for the quick response and excellent service on our boat financing. As you know we went to a competitor first and terminated the arrangement after their interest rate “bait and switch” technique. This waste of time on my part made your quick response even more critical. Everyone we dealt with from the initial phone call to the final closing was friendly, professional and efficient. As I said at the closing, we will most definitely be back when it is time to move up. Thanks Again."~ John P.

"We cannot say enough about the service and attention we received from Sterling Acceptance Corp. on the purchase of our 1999 Cruisers 3750 Motor Yacht. After looking for a used boat to fit our needs, we finally found the perfect boat that the whole family agreed upon. Lauren not only helped us with a very low interest rate, she helped us find a reputable surveyor, arranged for and acquired a competitive insurance quote, and worked and made arrangements with our broker. She even drove over an hour from her office to meet with us to sign documents so that we could settle before the 4th of July. We took delivery of our boat July 2nd, and had a perfect 4th of July holiday weekend."Thanks Again,
~ Chuck C.

"We have just recently bought a new (and larger) vessel. My last boat I financed through Sterling. It was a very good experience. They were knowledgeable and helpful at every turn. This time was going to be more complicated. I bought the boat in Canada and had to register it in the United States. It was not a job for rookies. Once again, the folks at Sterling made this complicated transaction a simple and pleasant experience. I particularly want to thank Lauren who was always a gentle and reassuring voice on the other end of the phone."Sincerely,
~ Dr. Fran M.

"Sterling Acceptance has made all our boat loans easy and pleasant experiences. We have purchased three Post boats since 1997-2004 and Sterling has always been a pleasure to deal with and always makes us feel like family."

~ JB R.
