Bill says... "Hi Ling, Thanks for the great service - 3 weeks from first enquiry to shiny new RX-8 sitting on the driveway! Don't think I'll ever buy a car again when leasing is so much cheaper and easier.
We're just off for a quick spin on the M62 so we can wave to your rocket truck."

Editor Note:
Bill, bear in mind you should salute, not wave. From Barnsley to Saddleworth and back will use probably £137.50 of fuel in an RX8, hehehe, so take your cheque book. My rocket truck (7-tonne 6x6 7.0 litre V8 petrol 150bhp - very nice noise) is marginally more economical than Mazda RX8 (1.5 tonne 4x2 1.3 litre hotpoint 1300, 231bhp, sounds like washing machine). Hehehe. Yours is faster, though, Bill. -

Editor Note:
Glad you are happy, Geoff. Only problem with new Vauxhall Zafira (a good car) is the terrible TV adverts with those stupid adult kids, plus Vauxhall's image. Vauxhall can never get TV adverts right. And do you realise that their "Griffin" (probably delicious boiled to a soup) is looking BACKWARDS, over its shoulder? Hmmm, says a lot about GM, huh? -

I would like to thank you for the fantastic service we have received from your company so far. All our cars have turned up when promised. Keep up the good work. Fabulous service."
Editor Note:
Do you mind if I publish the cars you have had, Carolyn??? This letter refers to a Land Rover Freelander, but you have also had a Jaguar X-Type, and Audi A4 plus you have two more Renault Meganes on order. Never mind my "fabulous service", you are a fabulous customer! You were also finalist in Cumbria "Exporter of the Year" business awards. Well done! I give you hyperlink, a rare privilege -

Rob says... "LINGsCARS were recommended to me by a friend/colleague, Bill Crook. I have not been disappointed and have been favourably impressed by the prompt and professional approach. At the later stage of negotiations, I was approached by a larger VW dealership direct, but I had no hesitation in staying loyal to Ling. My wife also likes the sweets!!! No complaints, apart from the car delivery at 07:00."

Hahahahaha, Rob, did I get you out of bed with your VW Passat delivery?? My God, at 07:00 I am already working like hell. Most people like early deliveries - usually if I don't arrange an early delivery, I get phone calls ALL day moaning "when will my car arrive???". You are so sweet, glad you did not jump ship, thanks -

Bill Smith, the lovely 73 year old man from ***** Audi has just delivered the A3 and it is fab and has all the spec exactly as ordered. He has explained all the bits and gizmos so all is nice and clear and the job is 'well sorted'! I can't believe how easy and how much fun I have had dealing with 'Super-Ling' ... all MDs should be made this way! You are just the best!!! Anyway I am just going out for a spin (not literally I hope!). So will catch you later. Many many thanks again!"

Paula, actually you were a model customer, very, very nice to me. The main thing is that you are happy with your A3, what a surprise the delivery driver was so experienced. That is good. I hate young kids in motor trade, always useless and they drive cars too fast. I will pass on remarks to the dealer -

James says... "Ling was cheaper than the two other "big" companies I checked her against. So I got exactly what I wanted (new Mazda MX-5) on the day I expected it at the lowest price. Her delivering dealer was excellent. But the reason I recommend her is her personal service. Ling answered emails on the same day, I was able to speak directly to her and if I left a message, she rang me back within 15 minutes. I had to chase the big companies I contacted. Personal service at the lowest price - PERFECT."

Editor Note:
James, I wonder who the "big" companies were that you contacted? They will certainly have higher overheads than me, guaranteed. That is why prices are higher, they want to to pay for their inefficiency. As I say again and again, I find most service in the motor industry quite crap. I have to deal with some of the idiots, and it drives me mad. They employ (mainly white, English, out of interest - significant?) numbskull employees who don't seem to care. As I said to Ross McLaren, below, I seem to be brilliant because you compare me with the industry average. And that average is quite shit, frankly. Is this too strong a reply? Well - I just tell the truth. Thanks for lovely letter, enjoy MX-5, a perfect car I think (even though it's Japanese :), hehe) -

Adam, I don't think your car was late - but on the 5th of July, you changed your mind: you were still not quite sure about which car you wanted. Your car was delivered on the 24th July, so where is the delay? - that's 3 weeks and I never promise sooner than that. But apart from that, I score your letter 9/10. You have good handwriting and your letter was polite and enthusiastic. You were nice customer -

Iain says... "This is the second time I have dealt with Ling in the past two years. Her level of service surpasses anything I have come across previously in the motor trade. She is polite (! - ME??? - Ling) efficient and always deals with you personally. My Honda FRV was delivered on time, with a nice follow-up call. I will be back for another vehicle next year and would strongly recommend you give Ling a ring!! "
Editor Note:
Honda FRV is semi-wierd car, Iain... very nice, but three people sit up front like the Fiat Multipla. Except the Honda does not fall apart or break down. As a repeating customer, I am so pleased you chose to come back for another round of abuse. I look forward to THIRD car, next year!- -

Bob says... "This is the first time I have had a car from Ling. She gave me a deal on the Toyota Avensis I was looking for. I tried many other leasing companies, including Toyota itself! Ling had the best deal.
Ling was great to do business with - regular communication - the car arrived on the morning she promised. The dealer she chose was excellent. Only had the car for a day - so far so good!"

Editor Note:
Bob, you know... there is just one person to thank for my low prices: Micheal O'Leary of Ryanair. It is simply because I chose him as the example to follow in operating with the lowest costs in the industry that I am able to supply cars at the lowest prices. Other companies have flashier offices, loads of staff (who do nothing except mess up, go sick, get pregnant and don't return calls), they spend large amounts on their own company cars, advertising, leather chairs and all that bollocks, and so cannot come anywhere near my tiny overheads. I still give the best service, I don't cut back on communication - that's free! So, thanks Michael (O'Leary), and thanks, Bob! -

Geoffrey says... "I was converted to 'Contract Hire' many cars ago, but only found Ling two cars back. Ling is NUMBER ONE for deals and service - and is good fun to deal with. Other brokers I have dealt with always fell short at some point of the process, whereas Ling gets it right. Her dealers are also on time, helpful and polite - spot on!
Yes, I am a happy customer."

Stephen says... "It's the first time we've ever leased and we were a bit scared at first.
Ling put us at ease from the start with her efficient and friendly manner. Because we were first timers, we had lots of what must have seemed like obvious or silly questions, but Ling's patience with us didn't falter.
She always replied the same day, usually within minutes. The experience was so smooth, and we have already got our second car (new Mini Cooper) through Ling. We will definitely come back at the end of the lease time as long as the prices are right, which we are sure they probably will be. The dealer was excellent. No negatives. Thanks, Ling!"

Peter says... "Very efficient, quick response - and most of all Ling got me the cheapest deal for the car I wanted; a Toyota Corolla. That's what I call customer service! Ling definitely met my expectations. The car is great, the dealer was good, but they should have put a full tank of petrol in."
Editor Note:
Peter, thanks for saying such nice stuff, but err... WHY should thay have put a full tank of petrol in? Someone comes into Chinese Supermarket, you give them £50 of free stuff? Hmmm. On happy note, I am so pleased to supply you. I used to live in Bournemouth and often used to visit your supermarket in Poole. When I was in Finland, my husband Jon used to post me food parcels he bought from your shop. Amazing coincidence, huh? -

Car order was a little slow and Ling gave me misleading excess mileage figures. However, delivery was bang on time and I got a full tank of diesel, excellent!"

Editor Note:
Christopher, hmmm. Well... trouble is, if excess mileage changes at the finance company (mabye residual changed or high-mileage return valuation changed?), then it changes. There is little I can do to fix an earlier figure. Sorry. But this is very rare, I always declare everything. I am so pleased you like your new Honda FRV and that the delivery included £50 of free diesel. Others note - free fuel is more exception than rule! -

Car ordered; BMW Z4, delivered early and all I did was email you once, fax you twice and sign a cheque and post it to you. And my car even arrives at the farm office allowing me to carry on working.

Miles says... "Hi Ling,
I have been meaning to contact you ever since driving up to Newcastle for my daughter's graduation the other day. I was appalled to notice (but only just) that you have been forced to remove your mobile intercontinental ballistic rocket launcher to a position that only your devoted customers with eagle eyes could notice from the road. I can only presume that the petty capitalist bureaucrats think that they have beaten you again; but I have every confidence that you will outwit them with another cunning plan very soon!
Enough of the chit-chat.
My Nissan Almera will be due for replacement in January next year so I shall be back in touch then, if not before. With very best wishes that you will continue to confound your enemies."

All went smoothly and we are very pleased with the car. As I said before, with service like this you can look forward to a repeat customer in 2 years time, unless I can convince my daughters (sooner) that LingsCars is the way to buy!!"

Toyota dealer is shit-scared of me because I shout at them (but very nice really)! Hehehe, new diesel engine Rav 4 is VERY nice, first time Rav has had diesel power. You got to get up early to get car from me, Denis! You could have saved £200/mth and simply bought an alarm clock to wake you up: stupid customer? No!!! Rav 4 is much more fun than alarm clock -

Catherine says... "Ling made my first experience at leasing a car simple and straightforward, handling everything from finance to delivery so efficiently. The time between finance being agreed and taking delivery of my car took longer than expected, but I am delighted with my new Mazda 6. The dealer was excellent with a helpful and friendly delivery service. Ling's mad marketing techniques entertained me and made what could have been quite a dull transaction, fun. Thanks, Ling!"
Editor Note:
Mazda;- so nice they cut off my supply twice! But now I am back, they learn lesson, eh? Catherine, I always say I cannot exactly control speed of delivery; if no physical cars in UK, I cannot swim to Japan to build one for you. Wait until Chinese begin to build new MG in the UK, there will be so many unsold that waiting time will be less than 1 minute. I hear rumour that Chinese Take-Aways to make up new franchise network for MG's. In meantime enjoy Zoom-Zoom Mazda -
