What's my car worth?

You didn't' ASK your question that way.....you didn't say you'd already

Then why in the world are you still whingeing on? You're acting like a baby
without its nap. I'm sure there are people who post here who understood what I
was asking. You aren't one of them, so please move on. No one's forced you to
make your several nasty posts on this thread.

Hi. Thatnks for the response. I did actually talk about most of this, except,
I think, the air conditioner, which needs to be recharged. To recap the rest,
the tires are all new last month, the paint is good and there's no rust, the
mechanical reliability is top notch, there are no leaks, the maintenance
records are all there, and the car was given another check up by a Volvo
mechanic last month, when the tires were replaced.

Were I advetising the car for sale, I would have done that. I'm not -- I'm
making a private family deal -- and I was interested in the opinions of others
with similar experience.

How would I be ripped off if I'm the one setting the price? I wanted to know
if other Volvo owners thought the price I was setting was fair so I could
adjust it downward if not. There was never a question of anyone being an
enemy.

You should

I gave a very thorough description and explained the situation.

Instead, you just asked for price

Again, I'm not making an offer on anything, and I did ask for price opinions
because that's what I want. I've asked for and received very good and helpful
advice and opinions from the people on this board before. Why I'm getting all
the nastiness and bile this time around is a bit of a mystery.

Apparently you're not a lot of things, including polite or helpful. Again, if
you didn't have an answer, you should have just skipped the question.

 

1) There is no answer to your question!
2) You appear to be the center of your world
3) Take a course social skills
4) Responds that don't fit your needs seems to frustate you. (read a book
about how to raise your kids)
5) This NG isn't a gathering of really bad and evil people.

I hereby rest my case.

Thank christ this isn't a capital case or you would have surely been dead
halfway through your first "point." If you had no answer to the question, then
you should have simply skipped it. Your response was both literally and
figuratively uncalled for.

 

At least I'm not a self-entitled asshole who can't comprehend and
doesn't know what politeness is.

 

And yet oddly none of those people has answered your question. Maybe
because you're being such a prick about it?

 

Whereas of course your poisonous attacks on almost every single person
who responded were perfectly reasonable. Are you this much of a jerk
in person, too? ROTFL!

Since you're not going to get the answer you're looking for, I guess
it's time for you to move on, eh?

 

^^^^^^

Should?!!! No offense, but you don't control someone else's ability to
respond to a post on Usenet. Whether his/her response is relevant to
your query is also something you don't control. Guess what you do
control? Your posts, and your responses.

In that context, your use of "should" in place of "could" is
presumptuous.

So is your snotty, self-righteous attitude, but there you are.

 

If you treat your cars like you treat people, I wouldn't give you a nickel for
any car you've ever owned.

Gee, wish I had followed this thread from the beginning.

If you jump to conclusions in real life the way you do on usenet, I would guess
you wouldn't have a nickel to give.

 

Your behavior puzzled me (forgive me) but I think I know.
You're looking for contacts and conversations for IRL you're lacking them.
Please continue responding, so we all can amuse ourselves. You fooled us
all.

I have no idea who you are or what you're talking about. I asked a question of
a group from whom I normally get polite, informative, helpful responses. This
time a few of you decided to be thoroughgoing jackasses. I dont' know why you
did, but you did. Those with helpful things to say felt the need to email me
privately for fear of getting attacked by you lot as well. How proud you must
be. Now why don't you go get ready so swoop down on the next person who comes
by and asks a well-meaning question. It seems to be the only way you can feel
good about yourself, if only momentarily.

*plonk*

 

Wow, what a bitch.

The car's worth what someone's willing to pay for it. Whatever the going
rate is on ebay / whatever magazine cars get advertised in where you are -
whatever you'd be likely to haggle off the price.
