Default Wanted! German speaker

I found a car I want to buy in Germany, but the advert says:
BITTE NUR ANRUFEN, KEINE MAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

which means: phone only please, no emails!!!!!

I can speak a little German, I can phone him and say I want to see the car, etc, but I may not understand his reply

Can anyone here speak German?

Try your pigeon German and hope he can speak English or another language you know well - nothing lost if not! He'll just think you're a nutter lol

That's a better answer than I had from the title, I was going to suggest that the speakers are the same for German cars

Sorry, but my german is very limited - I occasionally have to struggle through Windows NT in German but other than that I am no use I am afraid.

If you get stuck, let me know. We have a German student staying with us just now. He knows nothing about cars, but if you give him an English script I'm sure he could get by

Thanks guys!

I will give it a go, and if I get stuck I may call on you for help.
I have been watching a few youtube "learn German" videos to help me.
Also found this really cool site. Type a German word in, and you can hear how it should sound.
