LMFAO - Obviously a keen scooby owner then
Ronald Clark - Roger's older and more talented brother and i think he means Andy (who he met who owns a) Forrester


OP - Run, run away!

If you want to speak to someone at Zen then why not just call Zen or pop over if you are near Wellingborough?

OP have you actually read the advert? the Q&A at the bottom, he (the owner) claims to be out of work and the car is not practical , cannot afford to keep the scoob that he has only had TWO weeks and yet looking at your car and a skyline in PX - it just does not add up at all!!!


I think you will find both Tony and myself have just pointed out some howlers re the advert and you might want to take heed!

P reg 96/97 so was 1 or 2 years old when it arrived, not that it makes much difference. There are too many howlers/inconsistancys in the guys ad/story. I'd stay well clear mate, there's plenty more out there.

I usually find it hard to buy stuff off people with low feedback score on ebay, but this guy has zero, so bear that in mind.

He has a pic up of his service history with a massive RCM receipt taking pride of place, then calls him Ronald Clark in his ad. He also wants to sell after two weeks as he has no money and its impractical, but fancies a Skyline (as has already been mentioned).
Also the fact his email address is a car company, and he blatantly has no idea what he's on about.
Once again, massive alarm bells.

lol at Ronald Clark

I've seen a lot of this sort of thing on adverts over the years, it certainly says a lot about the owners..

A few trade names off the top of my head

'HSK'
'Greedy'
'Scott Haywood'
'Baileys'

Usually to be found on their 'Imprezza' which (ofcoarse) is 'not for the feint hearted' and 'boosts to the redline'
