Many things are amiss on this car. I am judging value fair what it is, NOT for what I desire.
This car is what I call "putting lipstick on a pig". Might be pretty at first glance but look close and well, it's a pig.
When this car went past $11k, I shook my head and came to see (again) some folks have more money than smarts.
Hey, I do hope the new owner is happy and for the price of admission, well, not a large sum to play with. As long as that person is happy, great.

i see little to support a contention that it contains anything remotely resembling "constructive criticism" despite your protests. smh.

I'm sorry you are seemingly a very sensitive person and that I have perhaps spoiled your day. For that I offer my apology.
I did (sincerely) wish the buyer great fortune / fun with the purchase.
I'm betting if the person that bought it was mature enough to purchase the car, that person is also mature enough to handle some constructive criticism.
and BTW, by "others" can we assume that the plural form is anticipatory?
