Fraser says... It has been a pleasure dealing with Ling Cars. Ling's clever website is informative, packed with useful information and as a bonus, amusing.
I needed a little car to dap to and from work, the Citroen C2 I got is brilliant and virtually runs on air.
Ling Valentine may present herself as slightly "wacky" but this belies a very astute business woman (hatfuls of awards!). I would recommend Ling Cars without hesitation - check them out if you want a great deal.

Fraser, you work for multinational computer giant Hewlett Packard, so you are used to underpowered, unremarkable machines :) so you will enjoy the Citroen C2, hahahaha! Heyyyy - JOKING! You were fun to deal with, very fast on my LINGO and we had a great time! You even uploaded a nice pic of yourself: With all that money you save on fuel, you can afford a new PC, now! And you can afford to get your teeth done! :)

Gareth says... I would just like to thank you and your team once again for the new Toyota Prius that we have now got. Your teams professionalism and understanding made the whole process completely painless. The delivery could have been extremely stressful with me not being in the country and my wife in full time work - but you pulled out all the stops to make is convenient for us.
When the time comes we will be happy to lease another car from you; safe in the knowledge that you put the customer first. Thanks Ling.
Editor Note:
Gareth, as you are a highly qualified RAF operative, I withhold your address for security. I would hate Osama to bother you :) The Prius is a tremendous car and should go for miles on batteries as your place is flat I think. You and your wife were super-duper to deal with. Thanks so much for kind letter. -

Angie says... Dear Ling
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for your excellent and efficient service in the lease of My A5 Audi Coupe. So far I am very pleased with it and a big thank you for sending my number plates (for my new personal reg number), they were perfect, even with my company name! How personal is that?
In the future when business improves I may look to lease a small run about vehicle for the office and I would not hesitate to contact LINGsCARS to arrange this for me. You have been a joy to deal with, many companies could learn a lot from you.
Editor Note:
Angie, how great to get this letter from you. That A5 Coupe is a brill car, even has the new STOP START on it. The extra reg plates for your private number are free and I am only too happy to give these when cars are new, as it can be difficult to get plates made these days. What a great time we had chatting about your car, hope you love it! Vroom, vroom, fast and sexy. Team has been rewarded! Hahaha. -

Annette says... Ling,
I love my new Honda Jazz already. A very nice man drove it from Birmingham for me. He was very efficient and professional and helped to remind me of all the things I should be asking him e.g. tax disc, mileage, weather conditions etc he had it all in hand. Thank you so much for your very efficient service from LINGsCARS, it has been the most enjoyable purchasing of a new vehicle I have ever had.

David says... Well done Ling, you did it! You managed to get us our car in just over a week! What fast and efficient service. I look forward to doing business with you again. You always deliver what you say you will. Thanks. Good delivery of my new Peugeot 207, car delivered when they said. Only one bad point is that I only got 1 key for the car.

Editor Note:
Brilliantly fast, eh? Not everyone can have a car in just one week, though. Depends on the supply. You only get one key on these cars because they are just one year deals and the company has experienced large costs from customers losing the second key. You can always get additional keys cut if required. Enjoy the 207, David, it was great to deal with you! You are a good repeat customer :) -

Andrew says... I simply cannot believe how easy leasing a car has been. In fact the most difficult part of the whole process was actually choosing a car that I wanted. There was so much choice!
I have never leased a car before and was rather pessimistic about leasing as I have always owned my car. One visit to LingsCars.com totally changed my mind as it listed all the costs, how it all worked and instant access to a member of staff who also were brilliant when I asked questions.
I am very happy with my new Qashqai and is the best decision I have ever made regarding cars as especially in this snowy weather the car is brilliant.
I can’t ever see myself buying a car again; I just don’t see the point. Especially with what Ling is offering. The customer service on the website is literally phenomenal and you know exactly where you stand all the time.
Thanks very much Ling.
Dealer Service – EXCELLENT, brilliant service. Thank you!

Susan says... From the very beginning I received nothing but excellent service. I would say that LingsCars are very professional organised and approachable – no one else can touch Ling for her deals. She is also however quite crazy!!
As the car I wanted (Scirocco) was an automatic and particular colour, it had to be factory order and the wait was approx 4 months. However, I was kept informed of the progress all the way – many times I received e-mails just checking in and wishing me a good weekend etc. I would log into the website just for a laugh and to share it with colleagues at work – MAD!
I still get immense pleasure from just getting in the car and I don’t think, especially as this is a second car for us, that I could have afforded to buy it with this spec. I will definitely be using LingsCars again when this lease is up. However, Love the car so much – don’t want to think that far ahead.
Excellent dealer, car was clean, delivered when advised and very courteous service.

Editor Note:
Woooo Hooo. It is great to read this stuff! Always difficult when a bespoke car is such a long lead time, but this is why I have LINGO, so the wait is painless. Progress is always passed on, even if bad news. But your car was all GOOD NEWS, Susan. Thanks so much for the business. Hope you have lovely time in the fast Scirocco! -

Rollo says... I’ve never experienced such a friendly and helpful company … I already have my mind set on a much more up-market vehicle next time, and I will, without doubt, be using LingsCars in the future. Average dealer - Dealer was ok. Lombard however forgot to set up my direct debit order then sent me a snotty letter saying I was behind with payments! If only they were as efficient as LingsCars...

Well, Rollo, Lombard have now withdrawn from the market. So, we don't have to put up with that inefficiency any more. They are RBS, enough said.

Brian says... If I knew then what I know now I would have contract hired a car from Ling years ago, its so easy and cheap! No messing about, no hard sell and a great service. From asking for a quote to having my C5 delivered to my door it couldn’t have been simpler. Delivery is free and prompt. Finance was quick and information accurate.

Gillian says... Hi Ling, I looked at many lease car web sites for the best deals. LingsCars was the best for my new Ford Fiesta. I love it, after all the paperwork was done a new Fiesta was on my drive - that easy. My husband was not sure about the colour (pink) but I love it, I love it. Thank you. It was delivered at the time arranged no problems. Thank you.

All my questions were answered within minutes! Friendly/ funny staff – had many laughs along the way. In other words, EXCELLENT customer service. Many freebies – mainly Chinese polos!

Elizabeth says... LingsCars is a unique service – efficient, reliable, but fun to deal with. There is an evident focus on customer care. In my experience the proposed delivery was cut by two weeks for my convenience. This was only possible because of the hard work of the staff at Ling's company. Many, many thanks – I love my car. Excellent delivery, prompt, friendly and straight forward.

Martin says... The speed and efficiency of the service provided by Ling and her team was amazing. My car was delivered within three weeks of making my initial enquiry! All queries/issues were resolved immediately via the Lingo system. My one major problem (getting insurance for a contract hire car) led to a call from an insurance broker within 1 hour of my call to Ling. Good delivery, the Fiesta was delivered clean, on time, on the day agreed.
