Thomas says... I found Ling quite different in the way she dealt with my application. I mean of course in a nice way. I was dealt with with no fuss and had confidence that both my SAAB 9-3 and finance would be sorted out quickly and professionally. I was right in both cases. The SAAB arrived on time with no problems. Thank you, see you in 2-years.

Jamie says... Ling
Your service was excellent; there was no hassle before, or during the paperwork stage. Some other contract-hire companies are still calling me!! I'm enjoying my new Mercedes CLK and will definitely be coming back to you, next time around. One small thing: I thought the car would be delivered on a trailer, not driven to my house.

Jamie! What a letter, at first sweet then WAH! - like scorpion, with sting in tail. So now I have to tell everyone that in real life you are big strong BP Exploration oil rig worker with hard-hat and tatoos (probably like YMCA person, ooops), and you live miles from dealer who supplies Mercedes, and you know we were trying to speed delivery before you helicoptered back onto oil-rig! I always say that at my prices dealers may deliver car by driving, but in your case it was neccessary just to get it there in time. Miles on car will be deducted from contract of course, and delivery drivers are very good and do not destroy new cars. If I was being cruel I would point out that due to clever placement of wheels and gearbox/engine combination, even Mercedes are quite suitable for driving to Scotland, hehe. (Customers should note that on many cars, the first time the trip button is pushed in and held in - if below 1000 miles - it will zero the speedo, not just zero the trip. This is to allow for delivery. So many "virgin" cars may actually have been driven by dealers doing "dealer swap". This trick certainly works on FIATs, and many other makes and if dealer has not already done it - usually it's part of PDI proceedure but they may forget - it can have its uses). I'm so glad you are pleased with CLK, and so glad everything went smoothly. Perhaps I should send some leaflets out to oil rigs with you, for other YMCA boys... -

Good fun but totally professional at the same time. If anyone reading this has doubts, then don't!!! Ling is 100% trustworthy and delivers on her promises... I still think she's crazy, though!
p.s. The VW dealer needed Ling and us to chase them, they were average and showed no initiative.

Zero hassle, zero problems - and cheaper than any rival with excellent communication all the way. Nothing was too much for Ling to handle. I have sung her praises to all!!!
Simply put - LARGE COMPANIES = Problems and cost more; LING = You get what you want, cheaper, when you want it, with ease and no pressure or hassle - what joy! I will never order from anywhere else again. The only problem is the sweets are YUK. I like chocolate.

Oh, here is another car leasing company attacking me! Maybe I should be pleased that the idiots want to code cowardly comments about me into their background code on website so that Google picks up on this stupid comment. Who is this Rex? Made up? And what about address? That is actually: Cranfield Sub Post Office, 121 High Street, Cranfield... Maybe sub-postmaster Rex is doing some contract hire in spare time? Strange also that they have no customer testimonials on site (with VERY similar layout to mine, except no care is taken, pictures of cars poor quality etc... hmmm) despite "Hacfield Leasing are a service orientated, professionally focussed company which prides itself on providing a tailored service to its many varied clients. With the emphasis on personal, professional service, Hacfield Leasing's reputation has been deservedly earned throughout its thirty year history." What complete contract-hire-company-speak. Means nothing! I hate you use my name in bad way, why you attack me? You think you "professionally focused"? You stupid. Idiots! - Ling
Reply from Hacfield Leasing 31/10/2005: Ling, I am appalled that that has been added and it was added without my knowledge or consent. I will be dealing with this immediately and P45’s will fly, I will not tolerate this behavior. You have our sincere apologises as we are great fans of your web site I am truly appalled that one of our employees as included such text it is unnecessary and highly unprofessional!

Further reply from Hacfield Leasing 28/11/2005: Dear Miss Ling, you brought to our attention that our website manager had been saying things on our website relevant to your organisation. I would like to assure you that I was completely unaware of this and at no time was the statement authorised. May I say, on behalf of my company, we apologise profusely and in the 30 years I have been in the leasing business I have never ‘slated’ other providers. Once again, please accept my sincere apologies and I wish you well in your continued business. We have dismissed our website manager.

Tony says... Hi Ling,
Many thanks for supplying the car on the date you stated at the price quoted on your web site.
We have been supplied many cars by larger leasing companies in the past, and we have always been let down on the delivery and specification stated. It is very refreshing to know that what you say happens and that no false promises are made about the delivery date or specification.
My only concern is the advertising Missile on the top of my new car. I went to the local garage to get the missile removed but they only had British, not Chinese spanners. Please can you send some spanners as the MPG is being affected.

So few times do people do what they say.
When I first contacted you, you said you would get my new VW Passat to me in 3 weeks. Well, you did it to the day! It was delivered to my door at work (the dealer was great!). I also loved the online chat so you could keep me up to date.
Can I say anything bad about you? YES! The Chinese sweets (red tea boiled sweets, hehe - Ling) were disgusting!
Would I recommend you? YES! To everyone who has admired my new car.

Ah, you see Philip; I always say sometimes car can be delayed... I have investigated this delay and it was due to bloody French - they damn bloody foreigners smelling garlic. The communist dock workers at Calais created a bottleneck at Channel Tunnel that affected ALL Citroen and Peugeot cars this month. Only cars already in UK got delivered on time. Of course this is not dealer fault or my fault, but French European socialist leftie union freeloader fault. They should take lesson from China Communist experiment, and just pretend to be communist while really being raging capitalists. Mind you, French and Chinese governments equally corrupt. Sorry about delay, but glad you like car and rest of service Philip -

Mike says... Ling,
I am Managing Director of a car supermarket business with 5 sites (to date) and 500 cars in stock. Yet I STILL can't run my own cars for staff and courtesy cars for customers as cheaply as you can supply them to me. So I am forced into the embarassing position of having to order from you; 1 x Merc E Class, 1 x BMW X5, 6 x VW Golfs, 2 X VW Tourans, 10 X Honda Jazz, 1 X SAAB Convertible, 1 X BMW Z4 and finally 1 X VW Passat, so far, this year.
The main way that my business undercuts the car supermarket and franchised car sales competition is by lowering costs and cutting overheads. Your contract hire cars, which are the cheapest in the industry, enable me to do that. If your turnover continues to grow as fast as it currently is, your car sales total (in £'s) will equal ours (with 50 staff and 5 sites) by the end of 2006! You are amazing.

Nigel says... Dear Ling,
Apologies for not writing sooner. I've been tied up, but that's enough about my sex life!
The new motor (Mercedes C200 - Ling) was delivered when you said it would by a very helpful driver who explained all the controls etc, very thoroughly.
Well, what can I say? Over the last 25 years I've had around 30 new cars of all descriptions, some I imported, some from dealers. I came to the conclusion all of those be-suited salesmen so eager when you buy and when you return "if only it wasn't that colour", or "well of course the new version has hit residuals" and the rest of the crap they talk, merely serve to make the car buying experience not very enjoyable. So I figured maybe a better way is to go the contract hire route (EUREKA! - Ling). You know the cost up front, no big deposit, car brought to you and taken away and no listening to the mountains of bullshit (and free road tax for whole term, and full warranty, and AA/RAC cover, and free noodles - I'll shut up now - Ling).
So, I start looking at lease companies only to find the hard sell and a variation on the same bullshit from dealers' salesmen. Then I stumbled on your site. Wow! Crazy Chinese woman with sense of humour who felt like she approaches business the same way I do. That is to really know what you're doing underneath but wrap it all up with a huge dollop of humour and fun and at the right price. You must work very hard Ling, and it shows. Hell's teeth, woman, you've even fired me up to go explore China! (You welcome to stay with my ex-Red Guard sister in Chengdu, Nigel. I arrange - Ling) And the sweets ain't bad either (Yes, I bribe customer with Chinese sweets - Ling)!
Well done. It's great to know there are people like you around. You deserve your success and I hope you have plenty. Don't get too big (Wah! I am only 50kg! - Ling) and never lose that humour you crazy mad Chinese person, you. Brilliant! See you in two years!"
Best wishes and many thanks.
