Ling was professional, she kept every promise about my two Fiat Grande Puntos - and she was refreshingly keen and enthusiastic. If Ling keeps this up I will definitely do business with her again.

David, wow, I love comments like this, from people who run their own service businesses. It means so much to me. Being an estate agent is quite difficult at the moment, so thanks for the car orders and thanks for the comments! I hope I can keep it up, I've managed for seven years, now :) - Here's a pic of your office in Swadlingcote.

Susan says... This is our fourth car from Ling - she found us the exact specification of VW Golf that we wanted, a 2.0 GT Tdi 140 bhp 3 door. Delivery time and price; - spot on! Once again, excellent service and a very easy website - no hidden extra costs. Excellent delivery service by a nice man.
I thoroughly recommend Ling.

Always there when you need her, this has been a great business transaction. My new Vauxhall Zafira is the bollocks! Just what I asked for. Thank you Ling, you fruit cake.

Darren says... Dear Ling,
Thank you for providing an excellent service with regards to the lease hire of our new Citroen Relay van. I personally found your company highly competitive. I like the advertising campaign and you are easy to work with. Out of the many companies I have dealt with, I would definitely say you are the best! The van delivery was excellent, delivered when they said - no problems, no confusion.

What on earth is "Rubber Conversion"? That's what you do, Darren... sounds like recycling tyres into condoms, to me :). The new van will hold many million condoms. There is a massive export market to China for condoms for the Olympics next year, you might want to consider this. Thanks for the kind words, as ever, I simply do my best... so I am pleased when you say you think I am the best! -

Michael says... Dear Ling,
Very pleased with the new Focus, as I was with my previous MX5 from you. Good specifications and good prices. My guess is you were educated at Roedean College and that you put on this Anglo/Chinese accent to try and be authentic.
Your website is excellent and makes it easy to compare cars and prices. Once decided, you make the process of obtaining the chosen car extremely easy. Always good to do business with you.

Margaret Cole in "Growing up into Revolution" (1949) says: "I have never understood why my parents sent me to Roedean. To remove me from the home was understandable. I was the wrong sort of cuckoo in a horridly alien nest. The cross was too wide, and Roedean was, emphatically, the wrong sort of school for me. But I would go further and say it was not a good sort of school at all. It was very expensive; I only got in as the winner of the single annual scholarship." On the other hand, I went to No7 Middle School in Chengdu and I say "It was a nice school by Chinese standards. There were thousands and thousands of pupils and we learned by rote, repeating stuff again and again. We could not talk. We sat to attention all day. Punishment was common. Homework lasted until 11pm. Thank God it ended." Apart from that rubbish, you are a long-term customer, a Quantity Surveyor. I always enjoy dealing with nice, professionals like you, Michael. Enjoy the Focus! -

Paul says... Hi Ling. Would you believe I've had yet another windscreen fitted (£60 excess) last Friday, but the car is fine and enjoyable. I have recommended you to lots of "cash for car" hopefuls - they like your website; informative and to the point without jargon no-one understands. The fact that we can speak to someone personally and not a salesman, tells you all. Mercedes was delivered on time - immaculate. Thanks for the meals, hole in one!

Terry says... Really happy with the Renault Megane CC - the rep nearly wet his pants when I told him what his new car would be! Great service from you, Ling, nice easy communications. Shame Renault Finance took so long to process after approval. We got there in the end, however. I'll be back for more, soon.

Editor Note:
Renault Finance seems to be merging with Nissan Finance, all the docs are changing and service has gone downhill fast. Another customer (who has not had any money taken for 2-months from his direct debit) wrote: "These numbers were given to me by someone at RCI who I spoke to after calling a 'dealer line' that the Renault dealer gave me the number for. However no-one answered the phone - I was on hold for at least 15 min before giving up. I have wasted the whole day on the phone to incompetent banks and car companies. Maybe I should be grateful.... If everyone were as brilliant
as you and me then I guess it would be harder to succeed! So here's to other people's mediocrity!". So it seems Renault Finance's service has totally gone to the dogs. Bad news, but it makes it easier for me to take a chunk of their dealers' business. Hope your rep enjoys that Coupe-Cabriolet, Terry. More fun than a Focus :) -

Emma says... Dear Ling
I didn't think that I would be that bothered by my new Mazda MX-5, but I have to say from the moment it arrived I was slightly in love...
The very nice man from Cxxxxxxx (long way from me) turned up bright and early, in fact I was still in my pj's...
The car looked good and I could find no problems, apart from the fact he had used 315 miles on the clock to get to me (which we marked on the receipt). Thanks for your help. My mid life crisis is now in full swing...

Stephen says... What can I say? Fantastic service!
Thank you so much for all your help, the family are loving the new Vauxhall Zafira. The car was delivered on-time and it looks great! I loved the personal service that you offer, and you were always very prompt in responding to my questions and demands. Delivery was excellent, shame there were no car mats provided.
Thank you again and I look forward to arranging my next car with you.

Editor Note:
Stephen, thanks for very kind letter. Well, you know how much dealers charge for car mats? They are a fortune. Where possible I try to get the finance companies to "throw them in" and often they arrive in a pack after the car. But I refuse to charge you an extra £50 just for a few poxy mats. Really, I recommend £5 at Halfords :). Hope you enjoy the Zafira, they are great cars and so cheap! -

Thomas says... Hi Ling, Just got delivery of my Lexus. I am made up, I carried out an inspection on the car in the rain. Everything was fine the only problem is the driver had driven up from Reading, putting 240 mies on the clock. In your leaflet you told us to report to you if it had excess miles, that mileage equates to about 3 weeks of driving for me. Thanks Ling!
Thomas Whitelaw
23 Alvanley Road West Derby

Editor Note:
Thomas, well, no problem. The mileage on your Lexus will be added to your allowance for the contract, so you will not be penalised at all. Cars are often driven on delivery because a) for quickness as booking a truck can take days, b) for flexibility and c) to save money. All the drivers are professional and they obviously drive the cars carefully as they would have big problems with speeding fines and complaints if they did anything wrong. Plus, if there are any small faults, these drivers will find them and request that the dealer fixes them. Enjoy the Lexus IS! Great bling car! :) -

Just a quick email to let you know that the Range Rover Sport arrived yesterday, and to thank you for the outstanding service that you have provided over the past 10 weeks. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone, and rest assured that you will be my first port of call for all future cars.

Alastair, well what a shame it is not flooded in Derby (rest of UK is under the water when I read this). Or else you could have "tested" it, as it is the best 4x4 thing. Everyone who has had these RR Sports have been really happy - I must be the only supplier who does not load the commission up to £1000. I supply these cars for exactly the same tiny margin as every car, from Kia Picanto to Merc S Class. You are a very special customer, but your car to me is like a can of baked beans, hehehe. -

Barry says... What a fabulous service Ling. The thing we liked about LINGsCARS.com is that when you call or e-mail you actually get to talk to Ling and not some answer machine. This was our first rented vehicle and I can't fault the process or service received even if I wanted to. The service was personalise, your not left feeling like “just another customer”. The price we were given was great; the service received was first class - we were constantly updated on our order process, and more importantly all of our queries we dealt with immediately – you cannot ask more than that. On top of all of that you get Ling's great sense of humour. Would we use LINGsCARS.com again? Yes, without hesitation!

Lauren says... Now, the Range Rover Sport ............ I shall lick it clean every night, it is to die for (so the fuel bill...£78 to fill it today, ouch!). It's a dream to drive and I am delighted I chose it. Great colour, spec etc. I'm driving it down to Manchester and back tomorrow so its gonna get a good run in.
I'm away to log onto your www.motorrecall.co.uk thingy now to see what thats all about, I will do the letter to you soon.
Again, I'm not easily impressed Ling, but you are a star, great website, great business and fantastic service. I got the best deal in the market place and am delighted. I will now become your stalker regarding websites and you will be so pissed off I ever came near you!!!!

Pearl says... Just like to take the opportunity to say, great web site, fantastic deals, and really useful to see the different mileage rates. This Nissan Qashqai will be my fourth lease car, all sourced from different companies ('suits'). In the past I have had my order forgotten, resulting in me being without a car for 3 weeks, and my calls and emails always took days to be answered. Your prompt attention is great and very reassuring. Well done!!! Fantastic. Look forward to delivery. Also document pack sent out was first class, even with advice on returning, I had to look this out for myself with my first car. (Sweets and keyrings appreciated). Also info on NCAP crash tests on web site is brilliant. I have a feeling that the 'suits' are going to be very quiet from now on!

David says... Ling,
Thank you so much for arranging this contract hire for me. This is the first time I've gone down this route (as far as cars are concerned) and to me, it makes nothing but absolute
financial sense. I don't know why more people don't use this method when it comes to
running a new car.
I know I gave you something of a headache with the specifications of the Octavia VRS Estate I wanted (which I know are like hen's teeth to find). When the dealer's low-loader
delivered the exact car I had asked for (and I mean in every single detail) I was speechless.
Sadly we have come to expect substandard service in this ("couldn't give a damn")
country. Crap customer service has become the norm. Your level of service, expertise and
professionalism stands out like beacon against every other comparable company in your field and I personally would go no further than Ling's Cars in the future.
I'm more than happy to recommend you to any sensible person who is looking to run a new car at almost half the cost of buying.
