The car has been delivered and it appears to be perfect. Thanks for all your help - it has been a pleasure doing business with you.
Kind regards,
Lewis
Editor Note:
Lewis, that is fantastic. You have been a lovely customer to deal with. Go and enjoy your SRi Astra. See you in a couple of years (hopefully), hehehe. -

Colin says... My car took months to arrive, but that was Nissan's fault and nothing to do with Ling! I will definitely use Ling again in three years when the contract has finished. The car is excellent by the way! No problems on delivery, excellent. Prompt delivery.
Colin
Editor Note:
Yes, it took months to arrive because you ordered the most popular car in the UK, I think! The workers at Washington are going like mad to build these Nissans. I place many orders months in advance. I am happy you could wait, and I am happy you seem really pleased! Also, as you are a senior IT consultant, I am really pleased you enjoyed to use my website. -

David says... Our experience during the lease of a new Nissan Qashqai was very straight forward with no complications whatsoever. Ling is an extremely professional and efficient individual who always promptly responded to our email enquiries/requests within minutes of them being sent.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to business colleagues and acquaintances, as her service has been second to none... something which cannot be said of larger organisations in the same sector.
David
Editor Note:
Dave, yes, well... not everyone is great in the car business - everyone knows that. I do my best to BE the best. As you are the owner of a large business of your own, I feel proud that you say such nice things. Speak soon! -

Vikki says... Well done, Ling. Great Service and excellent patience! Excellent delivery. The Zafira is wonderful and was delivered within 24 hours of our cheque arriving at Ling HQ. Enough said. Thanks.
Vikki
Editor Note:
Vikki, I should point out that this is extremely fast delivery, i can't always manage this. Everyone reading this, please take note. Enjoy the bloody Zafira. Great car, cheap price! -

Grahaeme says... Ling you are a legend. I have never had someone email me back so quickly. Fantastic service from start to finish. I will definitely use you again in future (providing you are still the cheapest).
Grahaeme
Editor Note:
Hahahaha, and who will beat me on price?? Not the dealers. My thought is "why email slowly when you can email fast?". DEALERS TAKE AVERAGE 24 HOURS TO RETURN AN EMAIL. All mine are done well within 24 minutes, probably sooner, immediately if possible. Got to laugh at the poor dealers... Enjoy the new Ford Mondeo! -

Thomas says... Great lady - wonderfully nuts but sharp and a pleasure to do business with. A smooth and hassle free way to contract hire a new Nissan Qashqai. Good delivery - car mats would have been nice.
Thomas
Editor Note:
Thomas, I have 500 car mats on order - special design. Half the time, the dealers do not provide these and they are important because I know you want to keep your car in top condition, for the return in 2 years. I will forward a set. Every car will get free mates soon - when my big order arrives. But it takes time to get these made. So pleased you are happy. -

Andrew says... Whilst I knew I had ordered an Audi TT with a long lead-in February until September, Ling kept me full informed along the way and delivery was totally hassle free and spot on the agreed date. An excellent service all round and a bit of fun as well. Perhaps a little sceptical at the start but a firm believer at the end. A big thank you.
Andrew
Editor Note:
Andrew, this must be a record lead-time for me. WoW! 8 months from ordering to delivery! Audi are really behind with TT production, glad you were patient enough to wait for the car :) You were lovely... I know you didn't believe me at first, but by the end you knew I was telling the exact truth with regard to the price and delivery time :) As a business owner, I appreciate your comments. Thanks. -

James says... It has been a real pleasure getting my car from you. You were patient with my questions, excellent at communicating, and everything went very smoothly. My only concern was lack of clarity and planning about when I would get the car, but it came within the period originally estimated, so it was not a problem. Many thanks for the great service. Excellent delivery.
James
Editor Note:
James, well, that is Vauxhall for you. Sometimes they cannot provide accurate info about exact delivery, but from experience I knew this car would arrive when we estimated it would. Glad you are so happy :) -

Robert says... Ling just rings my thing excellent service from beginning to end.
Ashley says... When I decided I wanted a Lexus I went to my local dealer to see if he could match Ling. He said that Ling was lying and couldn't get me the Lexus IS at the price quoted by Ling. Well... I now have the car, as usual on time, and at the price quoted. Ling does exactly as she says, this is my 2nd car from her and she has always delivered. Still hate the bloody Chinese sweets though.
Ashley
Editor Note:
Ashley, you work in a solicitors in London, so I guess you learn to tell who is lying. In this case, the official Lexus dealer was lying. Dealers tend to do this, unfortunately. Enjoy the bling-bling car, enjoy Christmas! For the benefit of the tape, you are a male Ashley, not a female. Thanks for the letter of support, grassing up the dealers. The Lexus dealer who accused me of lying was: Lexus Southend, 9 Stephenson Road, Eastwood, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex SS9 5LU. Merry Christmas, Lexus Southend! -

Nick
Editor Note:
Nick, what a fantastic address you have. A new, posh car for a posh address. You can tell you are an estate agent :). The C-Class Mercs are bargains at the moment and the new models are great cars. Hmmm, one day late... I cannot work miracles and even Mercedes Benz get it wrong sometimes. Bloody Germans; you cannot rely on these damn foreigners, eh? :) I hope the small wait did not spoil it for you. At least you don't need to fill in a HIP for a car :) -

Stephen says... Ling, just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for helping me arrange my new car. It arrived on the agreed date and is great fun! The price was fantastic. Also, thanks for helping me out with a contact for insurance - they gave me the best price. Good delivery of my Astra Sport Hatch.

Hey, you are a manager for BAA - I just love senior customers like you, you are so well behaved and your paperwork was great, Stephen. Another 150bhp CHEAP Astra gets delivered, these are real fast, bargain new cars. Yes, the insurance company I recommend is very good, they do not have marketing costs to add in, you see. Enjoy the Astra! -

David says... mmmm....
Initially OK, but became a bit frustrating getting one-word answers to queries and communications. Great website though. Excellent delivery of my Mini One.
David
Editor Note:
David, Wah! Hmmm, glad you are pleased with the Mini, but I think you are wrong about the one-word replies. I try to be accurate and to the point, though. Here is a bit of my side of our communications... just to prove to everyone I am not so terrible :)... plus you sent me a lovely bag! Thanks :)
Hi David, Your car is in stock now. Reg: RJ57 ***. We can offer delivery on 15/10/2007. Please confirm if its ok and to where? Please also give a contact name and number, just in case.

WoW!!!!! :) Ling
Dave, Done. (ref to adding hyperlink for you) http://www.lingscars.com/links.php, Ling
David, Documents are in the post to you! You should get them tomorrow. If not, please panic. Regards, Ling.
David, The finance company have just got back to me. They said: Please can you confirm what the colour is we only do astro black not dark grey? Please can you e-mail/ fax ??? Thanks!! Regards Ling.
No worries, I have sent your order to the dealer. I told the dealer to get whichever one is the quickest. Regards Ling Valentine.
Hi Dave, I will send it to the dealer now. Any problem, I will let you know. Ling Valentine
I have attached the email I sent you yesterday. The cancelled car is gone. Sorry. Ling Valentine

Steven says... LINGsCARS have been the best priced so far, as I have done a lot of research. I first looked at Ling's site one year ago when I was considering whether to buy or lease my next car. I asked her lots of questions and got quotes for other makes of cars. She always replied promptly to all my questions.
Her site has bags of info on it, and is really easy to use. Other companies just don't compare and she also gives you a free lunch! My Vauxhall Corsa SRi was delivered early in the morning (good), excellent delivery.
Steven
Editor Note:
Steven, well, I still can't say your surname, but you have been a lovely customer. Plus you sent me the Chinese RMB yuan back, as you said you didn't want my sister in trouble, in China. Thanks for all your time and trouble, I appreciate when customers choose cars carefully. Worth to check back a few times, bargains always come up :) You are a house builder, so I expect LOADS of business from you in the future, I am sure you will be worth £ millions, soon. -

Andrew says... I cannot recommend LINGsCARS highly enough.
From beginning to end - from the crazy website through to the crazy emails and phone calls - the whole process was just superb. Ling promised the car two weeks sooner and £10/month cheaper than any other company and delivered as promised.
Just fantastic - great service. Good delivery. Thanks for everything. Will be back in 2-years for the next deal!

Robert says... We ordered a new Land Rover Discovery in April from a supplier saying they were "the largest in Europe". They were ready to deliver in October, but discovered they had ordered the wrong model.
So we contacted Ling. On the 19/10/2007 we confirmed out order to Ling to be delivered in 14 weeks. The car was delivered in November (9 weeks early - Ling) and it was even the right Land Rover Discovery Model.

It just goes to show that one market leader comes to another - me - for the supply.
