Finding owners

Looking on auto trader at a steal of a vehicle, good price/mileage/history etc, only concern is there's a phone number on there, have rang and left voicemail over past couple days but no call back and there's no email address to send an enquiry to.

My question is am I able to contact auto trader to contact the seller? As getting hold of them is proving rather difficult

They left a number, what more do you want? If they don't answer then it's probably sold.

It rings about 4-5 times then goes to voicemail, no way of getting an address at all is there?

Like the second post said, it has most probably sold if they aren't answering.

The same is true for any type of classified listing.

I've had this recently as well. Some people just don't seem to want to sell their cars! I even had it from dealers. Leaving emails and voicemails and getting no callbacks

There are a lot of fake adverts out there for some reason I have found.

Farming names and phone numbers maybe?

If they can't be arsed to call you back do you really want to be dealing with them anyway?
