How to contact previous owner??

I found a Pajero at a dealer I want to buy, but would like to contact the previous owner. Now the dealer is not going to dish out this info to anyone - is there any person on this forum who works at a Mitsu dealer or know somebody who can help me regarding this please?

A quick chat with the previous owner to confirm the claimed condition of the car will suffice.

Why not? The Mitsu dealer that we bought our Gen 3 from was only too happy to provide the contact details of the previous owner.

Agree with Gerrit here. I was invited to contact the previous owner before buying Pradog. I still haven't done so though, Pradog's condition was absolutely excellent! All I did was to replace the slightly yellowed headlamp bulbs and fill the petrol tank.

Spoke to the owner yesterday after approaching the dealer - no problems. I originally wanted to speak to the owner without informing anybody, that way I can get the story straight from the horses mouth, before it gets filtered. All seems to be ok thanks.
