This is tough. Lots of other options available when you start getting near $50k.

$48,997

Lol, what an *** hole for saying that, but he is kind of correct. He, however, does not know for sure and is certainly free to pass on it without speculating comments. That said, when was the last service and was it done at a dealership? If, car could be just fine.

The whopping $8300 service was done in April, 2019. The seller really needs to get the dealer to print out the receipt from the X51 install. A missing $15-20k? item in the vehicle history binder could mean the difference between RNM and a decent sale.

It amazes me how certain sellers are complete failures.
Sellers who don't contribute to answering questions (especially when represented by a dealer) and let questions fester unanswered deserve the crappy Auction results they usually get.

Yup, all the comments are true. Coil packs, tires, battery and all fluids replaced for age, not use. I have my doubts after looking at the possible install variations for X51. No PSE button. No receipts for claimed full X51 package goodies. Overall comments from dealer techs very plain and formulaic...no details to help piece much together about overall condition. No comment from seller for 5 days! This car deserves a good price, but Groovzilla nailed it. I doubt someone will even take a ‘flyer’ bid to $45k. All that said, if the car sold for $45,000 plus fee and buyer put $2,500 replacing every single dodgy hose or fitting; a very nice car for 50 large. If the car is full X51...

Seller posted pics of the stock takeoff parts for X51 install. That should help. It would help more if he threw the old parts on the sale price. When they did the PSE install, I assume the sport button now controls that feature too.

I'm glad that commenter who said he wouldn't bid on the car without the pre-X51 parts thrown in, actually bid once the seller threw them in. I wonder if he will sell them on ebay to try to recoup some of the car purchase.
