Amanda says... I am delighted with my SAAB 9-3 Vector Sport Sportwagon. This is the first time I have ever leased a car and it enabled us to get a much more expensive car than we could afford to buy.
Ling provides a fantastic service, very efficient, no hassle and really easy to use, with a quick result. I would definitely use her again and recommend to friends. She is fast and furious person (in a nice sense) who has already done fantastically well. I think she will go much further. Excellent delivery service, everything explained. Thanks a lot.
Editor Note:
Wow, what a nice letter, Amanda. Hope you will enjoy the car. You are correct, you can rent a much better car than you can buy, for the same money. Have a great time, driving around Yorkshire. I have many Yorkshire customers, as price and money is very important to Yorkshire people :) I know. -

I recommended your company to my friend who is now a customer, and you sent me some car mats to thank me. Excellent!
Delivery excellent, very pleasant driver, nothing a problem.

Charles says... Hi Ling
Just a quick line to say everything is fine with the Volvo, it does look very striking in black - I cleaned it on Sunday it was looking a bit dusty, the interior is equally as stunning. Everyone who has seen it said they did not realize that Volvo made this model, it is being advertised on TV at the moment but that does not do it justice, it was worth the wait.
I will write a blog about it - don't worry my experience is all positive I have recommended you to several of my friends.

James says... Don't be put off by the crazy website, LINGsCARS is definitely a professional outfit! Ling keeps in contact with you and goes beyond normal service to help you.
What has really impressed me is the after-sales service. It is not a case of "here is your car, see you later", Ling helped me out after a mix up at the dealer/finance company and worked tirelessly to help her customer.
I definitely recommend using her company - cheap, but service is not compromised. The dealer was OK, associated finance company was not.

James, oh dear, you had a bad experience with VW/Audi finance. Never mind, I sorted them out and rescued you from paying too much. It is a real shame that customers get treated like this by finance companies, they are just too big for their boots, they think that customers are there just to bleed money from, sometimes. Glad you are very happy now, I certainly will not abandon customers! -

Andrew says... Hi Ling,
Just a quick note of thanks to go on your website :)
I know this is a bit delayed, but, I've been too busy enjoying my new Lexus and Kathryn's Volvo to get in touch. I've noticed a lot of people say that you are better than your competitors, I don't think this goes far enough.
You're a better way of driving a car.
I've bought numerous new cars over the years, and every couple of years I dread having to get a new one, first you have to put up will all the drivel that comes out of the salesman's mouths, then you have to take a kick to the nuts over the price of your trade in. You've then got to jump through hoops to get your car financed and fight off every advance of the 'business manager' to take a GAP or a Supaguard, or mats or something else to drive up the profit they're making out of you.
I realised enough was enough, I sold my car privately and pocketed what value was left in it, I put that money in the bank then picked a new Lexus for myself and a Volvo for my wife. I filled in some simple forms, sent some proofs and then waited for the delivery day. They were both delivered on the exact day they were promised (even with a 12 week wait on the sexy new Volvo coupe). Ling kept in touch to let me know how things were progressing, I didn't even have to make one phone call for an update (something un-heard of in the retail world).
Delivery was via low-loaders by professional, courteous people, and, there's nothing better than having your new car delivered to the office, just a quick 15 minutes, sign some paperwork; no up-sell, no smarmy salespeople showing you how to work the radio as if you're a moron, no false smiles or the false promise of a 'come back anytime you need any help with something'.
I will never buy a new car again, I'll stick all my money in the bank and pay a small monthly fee for the privilege of driving a brand new car every 2 years without the hassle or headache of dealing with the retail car market and the piranhas that work in it. Your website was like a sackload of cocaine wrapped in a marijuana shell which transfixed me until the day my new car arrived. I dread the day when the whole world wakes up to car leasing and I don't feel as smug as I currently do.

I thought you were very efficient replying to my emails and stuff, probably because you are one of those wierd Apple-Mac experts. I hope you and Kathryn have a great time in the two new cars, you are quite local so I may see you around! As reward for being 1000th letter, i send you 2 x sets of LING car mats :). And as further bonus, I have found a picture of those pesky car dealer piranhas here... -

Pete says... Hiya Ling
Just a quick note to say how pleased the family and I are with the new Grande Punto, we went out at the weekend with it and can't fault it. It really is going to make a difference for us. I know it's not ours, but we can pretend it is :-)
On a personal note can I give you a big thank you for making the whole leasing experience so easy, fun and enjoyable.
Nice, honest, genuine people who care about their customers are all but extinct in this day and age but you are all of these and more. You take personal service to whole level. Your fun and honest approach is like a breath of fresh air, if only all companies operated like this maybe the world would be a brighter place, and I really do mean that.
I for one will spread the word of Ling and with any luck it will spread quicker than a epidemic of asian bird flu :-).
Thanks Ling.

Ian says... Ling, Honda Accord is great, but delivery people not so great. It arrived with 244 miles on the clock, having been driven from XXX, and I now have to deal with a speeding ticket issued to the delivery driver 4 hours before I got the car, but for which Honda UK have put me down as the driver!!

Editor Note:
Ian, to be fair that was an automated process, they did not deliberately give the ticket to you. But, I am checking it is all sorted, as of course that was totally outrageous. It is so easy to get these tickets these days. The mileage will be adjusted on the contract, that is acceptable as a delivery mileage and you won't be charged for those miles. Apart from all that (phew) which drives me mad as well because it is so unnecessary - you are very happy with the car, which is great. I have kicked the delivery people. -

I would like to compliment you on how quick response to any queries I had. I did have quite a few queries, this Megane CC being my first time at leasing. Thanks again for making it such a easy process. I look forward to doing business with you again in 2 years time. The dealer phned to say the car would arrive at 10.30am. It arrived exactly on time.

Paul says... Very easy process from beginning to delivery of car, Ling does all the hard work. I just read the forms and signed them. Delivery was spot on, no fuss or bother.
However... I haven't had confirmation from the finance company on what day my payments are taken from my account. The car was first registered 24/12/07, I took delivery 19/05/2008, on a 3-year contract - so there is a warranty shortfall.
I'd recommend Lings Cars / her process to anybody thinking about getting a new car.

Editor Note:
Paul, well, the finance company should take payment 1 month after delivery, but that can usually be adjusted by you by a few days either way to fit in with pay-day, etc. I did make clear on my car detail page that these were pre-reg cars, so yes, you have a warranty shortfall on a 3-year contract. However, this is a Honda, and they have the lowest warranty claims in the industry. Thanks for the recommendation, you were a really nice customer to deal with, in enclave People's Republic of Bradford. -

Why these bigger lease companies think they should pull these stunts and lie, I don't know? Anyway, now you have a great Renault Grand Scenic to pose around in. Enjoy it. Sorry about the sweets, Roger certainly doesn't supply THOSE! Hahahaha! -
