Grahame says... "Ling, the new VW Transporter van is lovely. The dealer was helpful and I'm happy. You, on the other hand, are quite bonkers (WHAAAAAAT? - Ling) and I love you for it (ummm, OK... - Ling)! We WILL be having another van from you soon. You were helpful and mad; my kinda woman! Carry on doing what you are doing, it works!"
Editor Note:
Hmmm, mad, eh? I have friend with Aviation company. Next van you have, maybe I deliver it from helicopter at 5000 feet, like old VW Golf/Beetle TV ads. That will show you how mad I am, Grahame. Hehehe -

Fun website - and very clear. I really appreciated the fact that you always pick up the phone at once (I can never get through to some companies) and you are really helpful and friendly.
The Nissan Note is great, the dealer was excellent and I'm delighted with it. Thanks a lot."

Thanks for nice letter, Andy. I really try my best to answer the phone promptly, it always amazes me how other businesses neglect the simple things. Why do something slowly? I have to answer it and respond to customers, so why not do it straight away? Simple and true, eh? -

David says... "Ling is unique - I've been selling for 30+ years, but her marketing and sales approach rates as amongst the best I've ever seen. This is (as importantly) backed up by fast, accurate and helpful responses to pricing, queries and completion arrangements.
Fast, competitive, helpful - why go elsewhere? I had no complaints and excellent service from both of Ling's supplying dealers. That's right, I had two new cars from Ling, a Jaguar X-Type and an Audi A4!"

Thanks for making the whole system of leasing a car so easy. I have never leased a car before, but now I can see the advantages. I will definitely be back for a new car in two years. Hurray!, for the little company!!! Dealer was excellent, they delivered the car very early so I did not have to wait!"
P.S. Stockton is not too bad, my house is nice!! haha."

Darren says... "Hi Ling,
Sorry for the delay in providing feedback regarding the Megane Coupe Cabriolet, we have been on holiday driving around France with the roof down on our new car!
My wife decided she wanted a new car either a Golf or a Megane Coupe Cabriolet, we only made it as far as the Renault dealership because as soon as the button was pressed for the roof to come down on the Megane CC my wife insisted that was the car for her. I take a bit more persuading so managed to just about escape the dealership without signing on the dotted line. I told my wife to find the best deal she could and we would think about it.
Within a few days my wife tells me that leasing a car is the way forward and not only that we should do the deal via Lings Cars – on the internet. I was honestly not convinced. I could not believe that leasing would work out better than buying.
The thought of not owning the car seemed alien. I am pleased to say am now a convert and am spreading the LINGsCARS Leasing Gospel to anyone that will listen including my employers, relatives, friends etc. This is how easy it is:-
- Find the cheapest price you can from any dealer (or anywhere else for that matter) - Log on to LINGsCARS.com and get price. - Wait few seconds whilst you realise that LINGsCARS.com is saving you thousands of ££££'s. - Send nice email to Ling requesting car and colour choice. - Receive lovely new car within a few weeks. - Feel very smug due to new car and saved £££££'s.
In our case we have saved £4744 over 2 years. Funny thing was we even collected our car from the Renault dealer we had the original price from. Excellent efficient service. See you in 2 years, Ling!"

When I had trouble changing the car registration to my personal plate, Ling helped me with this (despite me thinking that personal plates are rubbish - Ling). The Mazda RX-8 was delivered on time, with everything in order. I would certainly lease another car from Ling again in the future, she was extremely polite (WAH!, me??? - Ling) and efficient."

Excellent hassle free service! I've never leased before but I would do it again - with you! My only negative comment is that I gave 3 colour choices and I don't think the Renault Clio is any of them, but I like it anyway. The car is lovely, the dealer was excellent and a lovely polite gentleman delivered the car to my home, as promised - I'm enjoying it!"

Hmmm, I check your colour choice with the Renault dealer, Catherine, your 1st Choice was Monaco Blue and your car is: TA-DAAAAA ... Monaco Blue metallic! Maybe the Renault brochure gives the wrong impression, eh, or maybe you are going loop the loop :)? Customer ALWAYS right (except when wrong, hehehe). For other people's note, especially on these very cheap small cars, colour choice can be difficult as only one or two colours may be available. I always advise colour before delivery if it changes, but yours was as your first choice! Anyway, I am so pleased you like the car and the service, and if you are going slightly mad then don't worry. Me too! -

Dawn, you are very kind with comments! I am pleased that you are happy with service and with new Citroen C2. So nice to have repeating customer; you have had Mitsubishi L200, this Citroen C2, a Citroen Berlingo, a Megane Coupe-Convertible (lovely for summer) and a VW Golf (reliable for winter, hehe). I must be doing something right, eh? Most car dealers would sell their salesmen's bodies to be able to have FIVE repeat sales to one customer, hehehe. Seriously, truth is most dealers are not very good, and almost none could sell you such a wide range of makes. Manufacturers are scared stiff of allowing dealers to sell different makes from one showroom. Cowards! Let the best car win! Let competition drive down prices! Spoken like a true Chinese communist, eh? :) -

Graham says... "I have had experience running a regional office of a car finance company, I have worked in car companies up to Director level, I have run my own business for the last 5 years, and I have owned plenty of cars. But never, never, never have I had such an enjoyable, easy, quick and simple buying experience as I have with Ling Valentine.
From first contact through to delivery, her quote was accurate, incredibly cheap and comprehensive. Her communication was immediate, not once did I wait longer than 5 minutes for an emailed or webchat response to my questions, and the delivery from the dealer she used was spot on and perfect.
I have to say that in the beginning I thought twice about ordering a brand-new £45k BMW 7-series (only £400/mth!) from a "Chinese female human UK car sales expert" instead of from a BMW dealer. But no BMW dealer could have provided this level of service AND she saved me a total of £4000 over 2-years with cheaper payments AND delivered a perfect car at the cheapest price.
Use her. She's that good."

Graham, you know, I met you when you worked at Caledonia in Doncaster on the first day of my first ever visit to the UK. My future husband Jon worked there. You might not remember me, but I remember you, you seemed quite scary at the time. I am so pleased you are happy with the BMW, those 7-series were very cheap for the list price of the car. Reason my service is good: I work hard like a dog, sitting at my desk playing with my computers like Space Invaders juggling up to 10 customers at a time on web, email, phone and fax. Which car dealer would ever do that? They are too busy pushing bits of paper around, chatting and swanning about in "demo" car. Also dealers have massive overheads. Thanks for LOVELY letter -
