That Gut Wrenching Rage Of Classified Listings:

Ok, you see one of your bucket list cars listed - looks good, its 500Km from home - theres no phone number / youve got cash in your pocket / you would take it no questions asked

BUT!

Its a classified - you email, you email again - you hunt thru old listings / feedback / praying for a contact # - hell you even google their username in the dim hope they might have asked a Q on someones auction & left a worded cell #!

Then - sure enough a few days later the listing is withdrawn - sold I guess

It feels like someone just took a crowbar & rammed it thru my chest

Im sick of classifieds & dont understand how you can legally upload one without at least some kind of contact number

Well that one hasnt "reformed" itself very well now has it.

Oh Behave FP!!!

It was a nice looking Mk2 Zephyr - I bought a PA Vauxhall to try & quash the endless search for a good Mk2 but it reared its ugly head last week - to the point of driving to the Nelson region & showing people photo's & asking "Have you seen this car"

This no phone # system is flawed IMHO

ahh, the old PA's. Owned several of them over the years. used to have a thing about them and Mk4 zeph/zodiacs.

re Mk2, Bummer. another will pop up on trademe. Just got to wait it out as frustrating as that can be. But I do know the feeling. Been there before.:-(

He had one also parked up at his other house just along the road from work - think its dissapeared now, heard he sold that house (if you could call it that) - pa must be back at wilsons rd

I agree with the classifieds being annoying without a phone number, was a rather nice old 1989 RS legacy in Nelson I wanted, it had late 90's WRX engine, turbo, gearbox, diff, etc, but looked totally stock and original looking with 120,000ks on the clock. but the guy never replied to my emails, 2 weeks later, listing expired, didn't come back on, doh.
