1532 LETTERS! More customer letters than any other car sales site IN THE WHOLE WORLD! - Ling
I got exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it and at the price I required! The contact/communication was fantastic - no holding music - no waiting days for return emails.
Superb... and I got lots of free stuff (sweets/key rings). The BMW 3-series is excellent, by the way. The dealer delivered it at exactly 9.00am on the dot - excellent - as arranged. They also telephoned on the day to let me know they were on the way!"

Editor Note:
Stephen, I train the BMW dealer well, huh? Actually, BMW dealer is very good - one of the best I can find. They appreciate my orders, this is additional business for them so they give me massive discount and treat customers very well. Of course I don't have holding music, that is simply pointless and companies that use it should simply do the job better and answer the bloody phone. As you are on Merseyside, I should point out that I sent you the goodies voluntarily and that you didn't steal them :) -

The Kia Picanto was delivered within 3 weeks from start to finish. I will definitely recommend LINGsCARS.com and I would use you again. Delivery was good, but they did not let me know that the car was coming - lucky I was in!"

Hmmm, Ann - you can see the difference between a typical Kia dealer and a BMW dealer (if you read the letter above). I just don't know why all dealers cannot achieve the same high standard, what does a phone call cost? I will have a rant to them. You were a lovely customer, thanks! -

Susan says... "Great help from Jon whilst you were on holiday in China, Ling. Fast and easy way to get a car. I'm still confused between a contract-hire and a lease car! My car was changed at late notice, I had to take a silver and not a black car."

Editor Note:
Susan, yes, I know all about your car. I had a limited number of very cheap Mercedes C-Class Sports 1.8 C160 (122bhp) Coupes and I can only juggle colours and availability with what is physical at the time. Cars are allocated on a basis of first documents in, first car allocated - and someone was faster in getting the Black car. How else can I do this? Documents should be sent by special delivery in these situations - and Jon said you didn't. Really hard to be rotten about this, but to me it is one of the most difficult decisions, so I simply use the order of receiving your stuff; totally fair but hard to do. I can't build and paint the cars myself and can only sell what's there I'm afraid. Plus, the car was SO cheap, just £231+VAT/mth. I've checked the email logs and Jon kept you informed the minute he got the info about the car. Contract Hire is pure rental, Lease comes in many flavours often including a balloon payment etc. -

Wow, I do my best to arrange trailer deliveries, but cannot promise this. Many cars are driven and the small mileage can be taken off the contract allowance, so no penalty to customers. I am selling LOTS of these SAAB Sportswagons (estates) and they are fantastic value. Thanks for the sweet letter, Robert -

Gillian says... "Great service - really liked the friendly, informal style of communication - very "un-stuffy"! I had a quick and efficient delivery of a new Mazda 5 (which is great). Ideally I would have liked some idea of when it was going to arrive, morning or afternoon. Also, as it was driven from S*******, it had 250 miles on the clock - hope that is not included in my contract mileage! Good delivery."

Editor Note:
Yes, Gillian, any miles on your car at delivery is taken off (or added to) the contract mileage. It's a shame that car dealers in general can't button this delivery thing. Trouble is, with my cars, they have so little margin that there is no leeway for additional costs. However, some dealers do it well, others less so. I'm constantly moaning about this, but unless I deliver each car myself, I am a bit out of control on this aspect. I will have another rant -

Hmmm, you seem very pleased with me in your letter, David, yet I will tell everyone that your Nissan Pathfinder arrived scratched and with items missing and faulty. You classed the delivery as "poor". Well, I am currently investigating this with this Nissan dealer (different one from the flooded Nissan Note 6 letters below) and will report back here when I have some testicles to photograph and display for all visitors to see. Glad you liked the service, sorry about the dealer! - Ling
Ok- found out. It was the rear parcel shelf that was missing as it had been a showroom display car and they had removed it for "safety" and forgot to replace it. You have it now. Also, they immediately sent a dent-devil type person to repair your scratches. Sorted (though it shouldn't have happened) - Ling

Zoom, Zoom, Judy! Yep, your proposal zoomed through and the car zooooomed to your door. Quick and easy, eh, and now you are zooooming around Kent! Commission is a possibility, but for it to be worthwhile (£20 seems mean) I would have to increase prices and join other businesses in raising my overheads. I'm afraid you will have to settle for a warm feeling inside -

Editor Note:
Yep, it is a ridiculous situation that I have to put dealers (middlemen) in the loop. Much better if I could deliver from manufacturer compounds - like I can do with some Fiats and some BMWs. Dealers are an extra layer of cost and inefficiency, unfortunately. Some of them are very good though, including the dealer who sorted your Nissan Note (unlike the one that went to Scotland...see 4 letters below). Enjoy the car, Paul! -

Brian Gallagher
Pacific Building Ltd 1 Heathside Road
Glasgow
G46 6HL
Editor Note: I swear in this reply, do not read if offended. Brian, you have had 3 cars from me so far and you are repeating customer and tough Scottish ethnic builder, so I shall tell the readers the full story of your car. Hope you don't mind. This shows; a) How CRAP some dealers are, b) How GOOD some individual salesmen are, c) How telling the truth to customers HELPS. Sit comfotably children, we will begin.
Brian ordered a brand-new Nissan Note for his business. Car arrives at dealer, slow to get PDI'd. ??? - When I enquire I am told "had water leak, car FILLED with months of stagnant rainwater from bad windscreen seal, but now mended with new carpets and will deliver". Hmmm. I front up with customer, ask him to inspect screen carefully on delivery and use hosepipe test for leaks. Car gets delivered. Inside "mouldy, dank, unbearable to sit in, sodden, car misting up, makes anyone who sits in it feel sick". WHAT THE FUCK? Dealer admits: "Fleet manager did not want to deliver car, was over-ruled by Nissan Dealer Principal and Service Manager". WELL FUCK THEM! Action? Immediate replacement car for customer, case of wine, mammoth apology from Nissan dealer. That's the story.
You will (hopefully) note the result - Brian the customer writes "Good delivery of my Nissan Note". Not "excellent", but still, he says "good". But he calls my service "excellent". And he does not mention his problem in his letter, how nice is that? Very...
So: FUCK YOU, NISSAN DEALER for being willing to deliver this Nissan shed as a "NEW" car! Twats.Thank you Nissan fleet salesman for instant replacement new car immediately delivered.
(And if I hear one word of objection from Nissan or the Dealer about this being published, I name names then ask Brian the Builder to visit you, don't you dare to threaten me) -

Beryl, it's not often I have to slow deliveries down, but I had to slow your Citroen C4 down. Hope you don't mind if I explain why - because you were having your teeth done in, I think, Bulgaria or Romania?? Amazing!

Editor Note:
Hey! Now Gary, I wonder why you find it surprising "for supplying me with a car without any pressure, hassle, or changes to anything you said"??? The motor industry is a disgrace, if this is really what customers tend to expect when acquiring a new car - ie; PRESSURE, HASSLE and CHANGES. It's remarkable that I am consistently criticised by the motor industry for being an un-professional parasite (ie. unique and cheap), yet my customers love the service. Thank you for such a clear recommendation, Gary! -

Mandy says... "This is the first time I have had a car on contract hire, but it won't be the last (I hope). Fantastic new Renault Megane Coupe Cab, which arrived while there was still some sunshine left to "pose" in. Ling was very helpful and easy to speak to. Although I wanted a black car (everyone else told me I'd regret it), I was too impatient to wait until one was available. So I went for a gunmetal grey which looks clean for longer.
My new car was delivered at lunchtime, on time, to suit me. The dealer was excellent, very prompt and the car was well demonstrated by the delivery man. I can recommend Ling with no hesitation, I will be back when the contract runs out. "

Paul Holmes, stop moaning about mileage on your new Shogun Sport! Scunthorpe (I have checked on map) is 170 miles from ANYWHERE except Grimsby, and that town doesn't count unless you are fish-wife. Don't worry!! Mileage will be added to contract, so you will get the full contract mileage allowance. Think of it as having professional driver help to run in your new car (the boring part). Anyway, I am so glad you are happy, it is amazing you enjoyed the sweets - usually customers have damn big moan about them (special red tea flavour, heheh) -

Mike says... "Dear Ling,
I write to say a big thank you for all the effort you put into getting my Nissan X-Trail delivered to me.
For all prospective new customers out there, let me tell you that when I ordered my car from Ling Valentine, my mother was taken into hospital in the UK and I was taken ill in Spain! Against these odds, Ling was marvellous, she contacted me on my mobile and fax in Spain, keeping me informed of every detail, arranging my finance, delivery etc.
Because of my predicament of having to have an operation on my return to the UK, my car delivery had to be cancelled for one month. Thanks to Ling, she sorted everything out and my car duly arrived.
So, if you are thinking of leasing a car, I have no hesitation in recommending LINGsCARS.com and Ling Valentine.
As for the three Nissan dealers that I contacted for competitive quotes (to check against LINGsCARS), it took anything from one to six weeks just to get a quote - and guess what - Ling's price was a lot cheaper. Once again, Ling, many thanks!"

Mike, of course I look after you when you go into hospital, I am so glad you did not die! I woud have lost car sale!!! :) You are right about the Nissan dealers, most are very slow (I think they are the ones who are dying) - and for some reason, car dealers in general are terrible with emails. It takes them AGES to reply. Salesmen too busy stuffing cocaine up their noses. You are so kind to send me a lovely gift voucher which I will use to treat myself! Thanks -

Andrew says... "Ling, I'm very pleased with the Megane CC you supplied, apart from a slight leak when it rains, but that's not your fault (No, the bloody French should learn to build cars properly! - Ling). Delivery was fine, apart from being one day late; but again not your fault (As I mentioned with another customer letter, I could not specify my very best Renault dealer with these Megane CCs - Ling). The car was perfect, apart from one missing dustcap.
You provide a very professional service to the public with that very special personal touch, unlike all the other leasing companies out there, which puts you head and shoulders above the rest. Many thanks, see you in two years."

Editor Note:
These bloody Megane CCs caused me a few problems, Andrew, but they were cheap. I could not specify my normal (good) dealer but I did tell my customers this. Delivery was a bit haphazard, but then you pay money and take choice. For me, a Megane CC at just £179.99 per month is a very cheap car. Just wait for summer, all these tiny things will be forgotten! -

Just thought I'd send a quick note to say thank you for sorting out the Lexus. It's a very impressive car and I'm glad I choose it (except it's about 7mpg worse than they claim). Lombard tried to charge me almost £50 for keeping my old car 6 days longer due to the delayed Lexus, but I managed to get them to waive it after 15 minutes negotiation on the phone today. Ha ha, you've found out about my obsession with basketball! Are you a basketball fan then? Do you know of Yao Ming, huge hero in China? It would be great to get a link from LINGsCARS.com to the main site www.kingstonwildcats.co.uk, I'll do one back to LINGsCARS. Thanks again for your great service, and I look forward to speaking with you in 2008 to arrange my next vehicle. Cheers"

A real cockney character who told me the last time he was on a farm he shot a sheep because he was hungry and it was war time Britain. So I hid the shot gun, fed him and took him back to Hereford Station. Van goes well and the person who is to drive it is well pleased.
So that's a VW van and a BMW Z4 sports car off you in the last ten weeks. I have three more company vehicles to replace over the next 12 months and judging by your past performance the business will be coming your way. Easy to deal with, keeps me informed and better quotes than anyone else in the market. Also the damn vehicle gets delivered to your door!
