  • Lings cars – legit or dodgy?
  • dantsw13
    Full Member

    Subsequent to my Audi thread, why wife is also in the market for a new car. I’ve been using Lings as a good place to price compare PCP deals on different cars.

    The A6 price on there was almost identical to the dealer price I ended up with. My wife wants either an XC60 or XC40. Lings deals are much better than the dealer prices. I am going with a dealer for my A6 as I have an XC90 to PX & it has £3k equity above the bubble price. The XC60/40 will be a straight purchase with no PX.

    With that in mind I’m tempted to use a broker rather than dealer. They also include the tax as part of the deal, making it even better.

    Anybody used Lingscars?

    The name rings a bell. I think I may have seen something on here about Ling’s Cars recently.

    Get your brother in law to order it. It makes for a much better experience.

    Don’t we have to insert the web address to summon her Lingness?

    Can’t edit my post, but had a good scurry about and I can’t see any evidence of  Ling offering PCP – I assume you did mean PCP as you referred to purchasing? Ling is PCH (unless there’s something I’ve missed)

    The only difference in PCP or pch that I can see is whether you can purchase the car at the end. Ling states some finance companies will give you the option.

    My wife is a commercial lawyer, so will be all over any small print.

    Ive just skimmed the Ling thread from 3 months ago – a lot of hot air AFAICS.

    I can tell you, but it’s £500 plus vat fee. What for I’m not sure. It just is.

    That gif on her website is disturbing. I wonder if she realises it makes her look like she’s receiving something very inappropriate from behind.

    or maybe she does! Sickness.

    Holy. H. Christ.

    OP have you any idea what you have just done?

    The forum is like a poorly sick little puppy right now. I don’t think it can emotionally cope with a gazillion gifs.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks that picture looks like a dodgy porno, although I thought it looked like she was just about to receive a load to the face!!

    Make of the thread what you will, but one thing is for certain – Ling’s as crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse.

    Legit – Yes. And very successful.

    Mad as a box of frogs, but there’s a reason her website is like it is. No one is going to copy it that’s for sure!

    You can’t “skim read” the Ling thread.

    I was there man,I saw <span style=”font-size: 0.8rem;”>things you people wouldn’t believe.</span>

    Attack gifs on fire off the hard shoulder of the A1 . C Class’ glittering in the dark near the maidenhead HQ yard gates.

    All those moments will be lost in time, like the letter from the CAB.

    Time, to die.

    The Ling thread was brilliant!! But I didn’t see anything on it to suggest her buisness isn’t legit.

    Well, that depends on whether or not she honours the cooling off period…

    The business is legit.

    I suppose the fair thing to say is, is just that Ling tends to make up a legalities as she goes along.

    On that note I’m off. No desire to get involved in that mud throwing again.

    no need trading standards have approved all her T and C as legit and if there is one thing you can do with Ling its take her on her word.

    Well played forum for the jokes but poopscoop Bladerunner one is my fav

    If you have every intention of purchasing the car then Ling seems like a good bet, if you are not 100% legit then she, like any broker, will tell you to sLing your hook. Make a decision on a regular, sensible car, stick to it, get a good deal, everyone wins.

    She doesn’t seem to have much truck for scoundrels, that’s why her rates are good, she retains her good rates by only dealing with good business. I imagine you are not a scoundrel, though your wife sounds like one…
