I also recall you having a few ****y outbursts on the very subject.....seems somewhat hypocritical does it not? That is unless, of course, the seller asked you for your critique? I look forward to your reply.

As was pointed out above, the seller asked for opinions. On my for sale post (it was an XC70, not an XC90, by the way), I didn't, but got them anyway from people who were talking nonsense, and who went about it is the wrong way, making unhelpful and unjustified criticisms and aggressively saying that I was asking too much money. I wasn't, in the end I got pretty close to the asking price, and more than I was willing to accept, from the first person who came to have a look at it. My thread was not a discussion thread, though I was always happy to answer genuine questions from anyone with a serious interest. Because the seller asked for thoughts, it's fair enough to offer them.
The difference was, I was giving some constructive advice on specific points that would make a massive difference - the stickers on the interior look ridiculous and seriously reduce the appeal, and £6500 is preposterous money for it, around £3000 too much. The car advertised here could be made really nice with a little effort, and should sell (if it hasn't already) with a price reduction to a realistic level.
Also, I don't know what you mean by "****y outbursts". Irritable maybe, and I think with justification at some of them.
