What's my car worth?

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. :) ~~~ The biggest obstacle on the path to success is the stupidity of others.

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.

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.
