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.
Ha ha ha ...😂
Hobnob?
So dodgy??
Hobnob?
Nah, it was someone Mike or Mark maybe?
You have to Ling three times
I didn't know Ling did PCP?
Get your brother in law to order it. It makes for a much better experience.
Alright then, hope you haven't got anything planned for the rest of the day OP...

Ling ling ling
Please please please join us Ling
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of another ling thread.
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)

My eyes are watering at just the thought of that website
She'll feel right at home here now though <imagine a lolling face here>
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.
....and a treasure trove of comedy gold.
Following on to the recent troll thread - I wish I was clever enough to have set this up!
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!!
The gifs appear to be the only bit of this forum that work
In update-related news, Mattyfez is now the OP on that thread, so Geordiemick is officially off the hook. <insertsmiley>

Make of the thread what you will, but one thing is for certain - Ling's as crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse.
No spitty gift for you, Glenn.
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.My wife is a commercial lawyer, so will be all over any small print.
Well played forum for the jokes but poopscoop Bladerunner one is my fav
No spitty gift for you, Glenn.
I meant crazy in a nice way! Perhaps I'll still get a spitty gift....!
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...
Come on Ling. What more do we have to do?
Ling is off the ball today.
Are you there ?

WTF!? I guess the hell got moderated out of it. Lol
She's probably got better things to do than join in the bants here TBH.
Ling 1 was a wonderful thread for the neutral spectator. And a useful heads up for anyone thinking of dealing with the OP - at least now everyone knows mattyfez is one to be very wary of. 😀
WTF!? I guess the hell got moderated out of it. Lol
Nah, it's just a feature of the new forum. The first post appears about 10 posts down.
Has the new forum broken Ling? The summoning used to be so reliable.
500+VAT to fix?

Colour me naive but I have no clue what that actually looks like 🙂
Liking the new "quote" style BTW
I’m going to try and keep up with this one.
The last Ling thread had another 27 pages every time I logged on.
The thing is, I quite like Planet X too! Good bikes, good prices, but a lot of BS in the middle. Seems very similar!
If a car through Lings is £100/month less than the dealer, also including VED for the 4 years, I can put up with the crazy website. Once purchased, it’s between me & the finance company anyhow.
And now her website is offline! The power of STW??
Has someone inserted some code to stop that link to lingscars working? I get a strange error message when I click on it.
*Looks into a mirror*
Ling ling ling.
*awaits the murdering to begin*
My last car was leased through Ling website.
Cheaper than any other deal at the time and no issues at all.

Chapeau.

Lucky you. By the time I finally got to the end it was locked 🙁
