Richard says... Service from Ling was always very good. Staff were courteous, the only downside was the delivery slipping, however I can say that Ling did everything possible, where the dealer fell down. The continuous slipping of dates for my A3 made it very difficult to sell my old car etc. Would have expected a hire car.
Richard
Editor Note:
Well, it was not the dealer, Ric, it was Audi in Germany. Frankly the UK dealers are blameless in this. There has been such a demand for A3s (and TTs and Golfs), the factories could not cope - and with the strong Euro, UK build slots were diverted to European slots to maximise profits for Audi. This was very annoying and has affected most Audi customers all over the UK (retail customers and my customers alike). You are not the only one to be annoyed, every Audi dealer in the UK has been pulling their hair out. Reason no hire car was possible is that Audi did not give any support to the dealers, hence everyone was out of pocket (due to cashflow). Grrrr. What else can I say, except - bloody Germans! Glad you differentiate between my service, and Audi's service. Thanks :) -

Mark says... What an efficient service Ling and her team provide. I have decided for my lease car requirements, my fleet will be sourced via LINGsCARS.com. Dealer got one of the reg numbers wrong on one of the three C5s!
Mark
Editor Note:
Yes, I kicked the dealer like mad. They can be so careless sometimes. This dealer is cheap, but is not my best Citroen supplier, but I wanted to get you the best pricing possible. I was sorted pretty fast. Thanks so much for positive comments, I look forward to supplying more cars (but not from this dealer again!). -

Victoria
Editor Note:
You love the sweeties??? This reinforces my view that everyone from Northern Ireland is quite mental, hahaha! Some people eat them and convince me they nearly died from the taste! But thanks so much from the mainland for your letter from the province. You were lovely to deal with, Tory. -

Patrick says... Dear Ling. I found the process of leasing a car via your site a very easy, friendly, uncomplicated and efficient way to meet all my needs. To date the Audi A4 is great, your service was great. Your website is a joy for those like me who are not great techies. You made the whole thing easy and fun, many thanks. Good delivery, as promised, on time.
Patrick
Editor Note:
Pat, what a lovely car, I have had one of these Audis in the past and it was really great to drive. A nice badge for a cheap price, eh? Thanks for website comments. Glad you enjoyed getting it. Have a great time looking cool in the A4! -

Victoria

What a car, Vicky! What a price! This is a hell of a lot of car for the price of a posh Fiesta! A 2.8 TD engine, top of the range Sahara Unlimited and how butch are those wheels? You could be in California :) Enjoy! -

Tamar says... The whole process from start to finish has been super professional with added crazy humour! I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your quick and witty management and responses. Far more exciting than the usual stuffy and serious protocol most companies use. It should be exciting getting a new car and it was! Thanks to you! Although a delayed delivery, very good so far!
Tamar
Editor Note:
I looked at this, and the delivery was delayed due to nits at Lombard/RBS who managed to suddenly decide to pull out of the market and who delayed the paperwork to allow the supplier to release the car for delivery. Typical. The RBS are entirely hopeless lately. Pity all their Jam Jar customers who got left in the lurch. But... despite that, you seem 100% happy, Tae! How good is that! You have a super car (Grande Punto Sporting), super fast model, super cheap price. Great. -

Helen says... This is the second car that we have leased via Ling and it's well worth it for the Chinese money and dubious sweets she packs in her letters. Fantastic service, foolproof step by step guides throughout the process and a laugh along the way too. And the new Honda CRV is fantastic! Excellent delivery. Fantastic! Arrived at 8.30 am- Perfect!
Helen
Editor Note:
Wow! What a letter!!! :) I think you are happy bunny, Helen. Lovely to deal with you and so pleased you like the terrible sweets :) I bet the CRV has been great in the 2010 snow we have been having. Lovely car, to a lovely customer, in a lovely part of the UK! -

Mark says... Hi Ling, a delightful transaction for my new Citroen C5 Tourer and will definitely use you again. It all was smooth and effortless. Love the bribery of sweets and money. Pity the money was worthless but as they say, it's the thought that counts. Love the comparison to burgers, great idea, lose weight and have a new car.
Mark
Editor Note:
Smooth and effortless, like the new C5? :) Lovely cars! Hey!!!! - the money is not worthless, it is Chinese Yuan and it is worth loads now against a devalued UK £££. Bribery is good, just like being back in China! My Big Mac index annoys McDonald's, but so what... it makes their burgers look expensive! -

Sarah says... Found LINGsCARS after recommendation from family and expected the service to be compromised because the price of my new Peugeot 308 was so much lower than anywhere else I had looked. This wasn't the case and I couldn't have been treated any better - despite the remote location of my house. I would and have recommended Ling to everyone I know.
Sarah
Editor Note:
Hahahaha, price of the car has nothing to do with service, Sarah. I treat all customers the same, from Matiz to BMW M3. No difference to me. I generate the lowest prices possible, and demand top service from suppliers. Lovely letter from wild and windy (and wet) Cumbria, thanks so much! -

They kept me informed of progress and always answered my questions very quickly. Will use again! Thanks. Good delivery, my Fiesta arrived safe and sound.
Claire
Editor Note:
Claire, well, massive backlogs at the Ford factories at the time you got your car. It did take a long time to be built, sorry about that. But good things come, in the end :) These Titanium Fiestas are just great! Glad you liked the LINGO. -

William says...
This is my second lease from Ling and I tried to get as good a deal as my first contract - however I failed. I compromised cost for performance and got a car , Citroen C3, which is weak and tinny but is cheap to run. I wanted a new shape Fiesta but was let down and had to go with what was available.
William
Editor Note:
Yep, Bill. In the current climate of credit crunch I did exactly the same thing with my own car. Why waste money on expensive cars? Last time you have a cheap Seat which was more car, but was more expensive (if a bargain at the time). But in a credit crunch everything gets squeezed and more money in your pocket is always a good thing :) I would not say the 1.4 HDI C3 is weak, but it will do about 70mpg if you treat it gently! New shape Fiestas were all on back-order when you got your car... not much I can do if the Ford factories are backlogged, sorry. -

What lovely poetry, Darren. Even though I cannot pronounce your surname, I enjoyed dealing with you.

Ben
Editor Note:
Yes, Ben... you can adjust the mileage without penalty - you will simply pay a higher rate for more miles, pro-rata. Hope the Berlingo is doing a good job, these new Citroen vans are real bargains. -

I have been impressed with the service and quick response to all questions raised during the process. I have in fact recommended you to a number of people who have asked me how it all went! I woul d not hesitate to lease again and I will be back for another Audi in three years time.
Excellent delivery - very happy with the service - they called arranged delivery and were waiting there with the car. Very impressed!!
Katherine
Editor Note:
Katie, super letter, thanks! Glad you were happy :) Always happy when customers say it was a good experience, that's what I like. Not really about the cars, more about people I think. I pass your regards to the supplier. -
