Opinions on this X50...

This car didn't get single bid on Ebay over the last week, and by all appearances is a clean example priced reasonably. Does the wood interior really tank a car this much? What do you guys think this car is worth?

I think their Buy-it-Now is too high, but I'd think that car would've gotten a first bid. Pulling out all of that wood won't be cheap, though, as it's everywhere. We're not talking about a few pieces.

Interior color / wood package / exterior color are for a special buyer for sure.

This looks like a car I was looking at last year. I also wanted to see if this post goes in as I tried to post about Marek and they keep denying me access.

Call me crazy but I like the color combo and think the wood is a nice accent to the tan interior. Wood doesn't work everywhere but looks pretty good here.

personally i strongly dislike the interior, maybe without the wood it would look ok

maybe everyone assumed as the 'buy it now' price is really high then so is the reserve

I think the Buy it Now price is a little ridiculous and the starting bid is probably a little high.

I just bought a 2003 X50 with 28k miles in July for the same price as the starting bid in this auction. You have to believe the reserve price is north of $50k if the Buy it Now price is $55.9k.

In my opinion the car is priced very high for the current market - especially including the wood.

I paid less that than for my 04 X50 Cab last December. I think it is over priced. I like the exterior color but that interior is, well, odd.

I like the interior. Wood is one of those you either like it or hate it. Very little middle ground. My cars has some wood, not as much as that one, but it is ok. I really like the tan and wood in that one... Mine is black with wood and it is ok. I am slowly going to remove it when I get time and energy...

I like the interior also. I have a carbon fiber interior which is kick a$$ but I think my second choice wood be the wood.
