This website got massive publicity a good few years back.

Personally, I hate it - I think its messy and not very easy to use. The owenr has made good money out of it though, for a good few years, suggesting I'm very wrong.

Ling has indeed done very well, she's been on Dragon's Den amongst other things. Like most people I absolutely hate the site!

Absolutely spot on.

Dreadful site very user unfriendly and difficult to use. I actually prefer Autotrader and I think that Autotrader is poor as a not very user friendly website.

That is insane.
What's also insane is that someone would want to lease a reliant robin for upwards of £155 a month

They wouldn't. It's carefully crafted to make people talk about the site, and it works.

You need to polish out any difference
in colour due to UV. You can use kettle of hot water to
help remove these (gay people can use hairdryer), or
do it when the car is warm in the sunshine, it’s easier.
Tremendous!

Very tempting at that price.....would be great for a business for advertising e.g. a Takeaway if your delivery turned up in a Delorean!

That's easily the tackiest website I've ever had the displeasure of visiting year to date. I appreciate the business model behind it though.

The Corsa VXR for £177 a month made me take notice, not a car I've ever considered and I'm not a huge fan of leasing but that seems like plenty of grins for the money.

This is a (quite) interesting piece on the site, but it gets more interesting further down in the comments when Ling gets involved.

My god, it's the Gangnam Star of car sales.

I don't get migraines, but if I did, that would start one.
