    Yeh, she was on Dragon’s Den a few years ago…proof that not just the English that can be eccentric!

    Think she makes her money on commission / finding the deals.

    we bought a nearly new merc mwb sprinter just recently… amazing deal because it came from fleet lease of around 30 vehicles.
    13,000 on the clock and tip-top condition… garages get these types of batches in all the time… i forget which merc garage we bought from but do still have the guys card and details which i can send you if you wish…
    my brother bought the exact same one from him the week after we did…

    i was speaking to one of the head sales people at verve just yesterday…
    known the guy as long as i have done signs… he was telling me how bad things are getting due to the good old crunch… companies going oweing on fleet purchases, whilst small time companies not getting the finance even after him giving them 5 and 6 good sources for credit…
    i would agree with you that if you can purchase now, you should be able to get a great deal!
    i am going to get a new car in the next month or so… because i am sure i will be able to get a good deal also, based on the above…
    good luck mate… and if you want that number let me know and ill dig it out…

    this is a great central lease, contract hire or purchase hub on cars and vans…

    Go with the Sprinter Andrew! We’ve just bought a LWB 311 and I’m well impressed.

    Well I am surprised that you cant find a good price for leasing,

    If it doesnt work for you, then it doesnt,

    perhaps you can post a deal you have found, from another company, just for comparison on the model of your choice?

    sprinter for example

    Love Lings Website. Must be a real character 😛 Very confusing though, but does convey, in a marketing sense, that she is cheap and offers value for money. She is probably making a fortune.
