It can be infuriating Kev.

About a year ago there was a 2.5 tourer advertised on our local Gumtree.

It was properly expensive, but a really nice example.

The advertiser had paid for premium ad space meaning it showed at the top of the searches but hadn't included any contact details other than an email.

I tried to contact him, even taking a drive around the small village he had given as the car's location, but without joy.

Three weeks later, I gave up and bought a different one. A week after that, he replied to my many emails to say he would be holding viewings the following Saturday.

He was an eejit - your seller probably just sold the car and forgot he has it advertised here.

I've never understood why car sellers on here aren't allowed to include a phone number though, seems very last century that rule.

If they were, the likelihood is all it would have taken is one call or one text to get your answer.

Emails from this forum go to my junk box no matter how many times I've added the URLs to the safe list so yeah, they're missable.

Good luck.

For the days when you had to give a phone number in a advert to sell a car!

Remember the is always another car round the corner or 122 miles away in this case

Or they say one persons lose is another persons gain and it certainly was as far as both me and the last owner are concerned regards the car a brought two weeks ago just into for the holiday season https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=269985

Nearly 500 miles in just over a day to firstly view then collect this gem.

sometimes we put stuff on ebay then go on holiday and cone back the day or day before the auction ends. As we wont have internet access every time we would be slow to reply.
