Jason, wow, you are at Upper Heyford! When that was a Ronald Reagan air base, my husband sat outside to watch the F1-11's coming back from bombing Ghadaffi in Libya. Anyway, now the F1-11's are replaced by a new VW Passat, try not take it on bombing missions. Finance company will go mad if the car is damaged. -

Karen says... Having just got my second new car through Ling, I would say I am extremely impressed with the excellent service. She is no-nonsense and straight talking unlike some other companies I contacted.
I recommend Ling to my customers and friends. Having one car taken away and being delivered another, was very smooth. Excellent delivery driver.

Hello, Karen! You are a long-term customer and I always like to deal with pubs as it is very convenient to call in for a drink, hehehe. You swapped a Citroen Picasso for a Mazda 3, wow, so different. I wonder which you prefer? See you in Darlington, sometime. I will have a Bailey's... -

You are extremely efficient. Replying to emails quickly and NO queries on the telephone, either. My brother-in-law has been referred to you for next year. For a second referral, you must be doing something right.

Stephen says... Hi Ling, thanks so much for making everything work out so well. I received a phone call this morning that my new VW Transporter was on it's way to me. I was so surprised as I only sent off the paperwork 2 days ago ! However you did say it'd be coming on the 11th or 12 th and here it is on the 11th. I really appreciate the way you do business and will come back to you next time, also recommend you to anyone who needs a great lease deal. Fantastic service Ling but it'll take a while to recover from the Chinese candies you sent me....

Kevin says... Hi Ling,
The car arrived around 11am this morning and I love it.....A nice old retired man from L***** drove it all the way up to Scotland and he is now getting the train back to L*****!!!! I did drive him to the nearest train station and he explained that the initial mileage (340 miles) would be added to my agreement.
It has arrived at a great time as we are all about to head off to the East Coast of Scotland on holiday and we can drive there in style now....I would like to thank you for all of your help and I will be recommending your company to everyone that asks me about how I got hold of such a great car at such a great price......Once again, thanks for all of your help.

Steve says... Hi Ling
My new BMW 320i Coupe arrived yesterday which was 10 days earlier than you'd initially anticipated. This is the first time I have leased a car and have to say that any doubts I had about the process disappeared once I'd visited your web site (what a hive of information + some bonus dodgy gags!).
Your responses to the few questions I had were super-quick and you can bet I'll be back in 2 years. Cheers!

Hehehe, well - you don't get the dodgy gags from Fawdington BMW, the local expensive dealer, eh? These BMW Coupes were so cheap, I have had a few people ordering two cars, his and hers! I was not sure about the delivery time as these were a brand-new model, so I was pessimistic about delivery. It is nice when it happens faster than you think it will :). It's good that your first time as a leasing virgin was so rewarding, hehehe -

Alex says... Hi Ling
Thanks for all the help with the RX8. I don't know why Mazda have blacklisted you. You were open about the car being thirsty and knowing that, I went ahead. I would have been pissed off with you if you hadn't told me. All the best!
Editor Note:
Alex, yep...Mazda is one company that insists I only say "positive" things about their cars, they hate me just telling the truth. Why not? Customers spend a substantial amount of money on cars, and it only seems fair to explain all the pros and cons of each model. I simply told you to order a petrol tanker to be available for when your Mazda RX8 arrived, hehehe. As a solicitor, you have told me that it's possibly illegal for Mazda to restrict competition for their dealers, but what can I do? My local MEP is looking into this cartel-like restrictive behaviour by this massive Japanese manufacturer, for me. -

George says... Getting a car from Ling was the best decision I have ever made. It was fun, friendly and made me feel special. I would not hesitate to use her again as she kept in touch daily with updates on the Zafira delivery, making everything run smoothly with no worries. My gleaming car was delivered to my home at 10;15. EXCELLENT! I now miss the funny emails!

I will miss you, but talk again in 2-years! :) -

Jason says... I chose to lease an Astra SRi from Ling because of her internet presence and competitive pricing. Ling made the boring paperwork process easy to understand and processed the information quickly.
Ling has developed a truly individual approach with her business from her website to her envelopes and their contents, yet she manages to maintain a professional and personal service.

David, you run a coffee shop in York, so you know all about the service industry. I am so pleased when someone in a trade like yours says nice things, because you realise how had it is to be consistently good! But anyway, apart from the fact that you spend all day serving bloody Japanese tourists right in the center of York by the river, hope the Zafira does a great job for you as a van, a minibus and as a private family car. Even though it is impossible to drive cars in York, hehehe -

Editor Note:
Jason, well first let me say that these Zafiras came from the Midlands, so it had a long way to travel on a very miserable day. Unlike God, I cannot change the weather. I am sure after a quick rinse, your car was clean again. I must say; this "dirty new car" syndrome is the biggest complaint against my service, it is human nature to mention it, but it is very trivial as the cars are designed to get dirty :). Really not much I can do about this, in bad weather. But thanks for your letter, you were a lovely onion to deal with, Jason. And actually, so local. This is Washington, Tyne and Wear... not Washington, DC! -

The communication and advice was excellent, all documentation was clearly identified and explained.

Stuart says... There was a young lady called Ling, Selling new cars is her thing, I ordered a Zafira, No other dealer came near her, Now I'm driving along with bling! (At least it does not rhyme with "cock", hehehe - Ling)
Ling, your service over the Zafira was nothing short of excellent - always replying promptly to my questions. If this mould-breaking idea (what idea? good service??? hehehe - Ling) could be transferred to other major purchase areas (eg Houses), life would be simpler for everyone. Good delivery, no complaints, came exactly on time.

Editor Note:
Robert, as you are an Managing Director I value your opinion very much, thanks. The reason no one can match the prices is a) low overheads, b) efficiency, c) I am not greedy. I prefer returning, happy customers more than a big profit from a one-off sting. I make my profit through recommendations and volume, not sky-high prices. Note a SAAB dealer needs to make £5,000 in profit PER DAY, just to open its doors. -

But this happens sometimes, I cannot shout at VW for making popular cars, can I? You were really lovely even if you got impatient like a kid. At one stage I nearly cancelled your car, and at another stage you nearly cancelled it :). But with a bit of patience it was fine in the end. I do not hear any moaning, now! -

The service and help that I received from you was first class, everything was explained fully - no hidden "bits". I have recommended you to all my friends (but not my neighbours because they will find out it was not a lottery win!).
On delivery, the guy was so helpful, he talked me through all aspects of the Audi cabriolet. Excellent!

Kerrie says... I was very worried about entering the contract hire world of cars, and I chose Ling not only because she had the best Mazda MX-5 deal, but because it was so refreshing to find a lady working the car market.
My choice wasn't wrong.
I was nothing but impressed. My emails were responded to quickly (sometimes within minutes), I always knew where I stood and most of all I felt respected and valued as a customer. My MX5 delivery was excellent, it arrived dead on time (in fact slightly early!). So many people (including my mother) were dubious of contract hire, but now they are all raving about it and how good the service that Ling offers, is.
There are no two-ways about it - I will be returning to Ling in 2-years when my contract ends!
Thank you so much, Ling; you have restored my faith (a little) in the cut-throat world of cars... after years of being "done over" by the typical car salesman! You were spot on with every last detail from beginning to end and you don't take yourself too seriously :). GIRL POWER!

Kerrie, well, you are the manager of a private day-care nursery in Oxford, so you know exactly what you need to do to please YOUR little customers, I'm sure! So your comments mean a lot to me. I am just so pleased when customers are genuinely happy. I'm not sure I do too much "girl power" though, I am not really a man-v- woman person, but I agree that many in the motor trade are just waiting to "do you over". Strangely, Mazda UK hate me and keep trying to terminate my supply by illegally fixing my suppliers (no broken kneecaps yet) despite fantastic responses from customers who have rented new Mazdas from me, like yourself! -
