    Easy Car offers the chance to buy at the end and Lingscars does not.

    You can purchase the car if you want from Ling at the end. Just coming to the end of our current 2 year deal with her and I've a letter from Lombard (the finance people) with a choice of options 1) Order a new car 2) extend current lease 3) Purchase current vehicle or 4) Arrange collection

    Drove past her office last week on the way into Newcastle, her big red bus was parked outside. Looked like a proper office park as well rather than being run from a back bedroom.

    Ling is the girl who was on Dragon's Den I think? If so didn't the Dragons say that she was doing well enough not to need their help?
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical

    & didn't she, pretty much ONLY go on the show, to get the publicity it would generate, at the licience payers expense!!??

    Never REALLY having intention of doing a deal with the Dragons!!

    It worked, 'cos she's getting even more FREE adverts on here!!

    I'm in the same situation - Lombard lease via Ling coming to an end in July. Out of interest, how long before the end of lease did you get the letter and (if you did ask for a quote on a new car from Lombard) how competitive was the quote?

    Thanks!
