ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

The registrant Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (“CPS”) hereby incorporates by reference into this Item 1.01 the information contained in Item 2.01 of this report and the information contained in exhibit 99.1 (press release) filed with this report.

CPS disclaims any implication that the agreements relating to such transactions are other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of its business.

ITEM 2.01.  COMPLETION OF THE ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On September 27, 2010, CPS and its wholly owned subsidiary CPS Receivables Four LLC ("Subsidiary") entered into a series of agreements under which Subsidiary purchased from CPS, and sold to CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2010-A, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust") approximately $103.8 million of subprime automotive receivables (the "Receivables"). CPS had acquired the Receivables the same day from Auto Loan Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, which had held the Receivables since September 28, 2008. The transaction accordingly may be deemed both an acquisition and disposition of such assets.  CPS previously reported its sale of such receivables to Auto Loan Trust, in a report on Form 8-K filed October 2, 2008.

ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
