May 8 Update: the eBay auction for the Xterra has ended. Following is a letter from Kim Ferry, the Xterra’s owner, with more information (this letter was also sent directly to all of the bidders before the auction closed):

Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for taking an interest in the Nissan Xterra I’m selling that was featured this season on “The Office.” It’s exciting to see how many people are interested in taking a piece of their favorite show (and mine) home with them!

Unfortunately, due to a miscommunication with the studio, I am not going to be able to include the signed script, sides, stickers, or the prop ad after all. So I’m pulling down the Xterra listing for now, but I’ll be reposting it again in the next few days with a new collection of items donated personally by some of “The Office” cast.

Thanks again!

Kim M. Ferry
Dept. Head Hairstylist for “The Office”
