    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.

    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.

    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.
