Looking for a 2006 Shinka Copper Red
 
Good afternoon. I've been searching for information on this forum for the past 4 years, after I bought a 2006 Shinka Copper Red Mica. Unfortunately, an idiot did a left turn in front of me at an intersection recently. My insurance company (Esurance - they suck. Stay away.) deemed it a total loss, yet paid me more than the estimate. That said, I will have to go through the process of getting my Florida "salvage rebuildable" title converted to a "rebuilt" title, which apparantly is a PITA.

So... Anyone got a 2006 Copper Red Mica Shinka for sale? (I cannot post in the marketplace area for whatever reason). I found one online that is 1800 miles away. So it's either near Tuscon or the Arctic circle. Thank you!

Man, the same thing just happened to me. My 05 GT just got totaled by my insurance and even stranger coincidence, I just picked up an 06 Shinka last week. Best of luck in your search!

Yes, good luck, I have always loved the copper '06 Shinka. If you search long and hard enough, I'm sure you'll find one.

I would buy your car back for parts if it is in fact totaled. Would make a great parts car. Finding a Copper Red Shinka in good shape will be tough. You may have to have the car shipped to you. With that said a proper inspection is impossible so be careful. Keep searching and saving your money. The right one will come along.

Looked at a low mileage 06 that is near the arctic circle a couple of months ago, Canadian car that has around 34,000 Km or 21,000 miles and parked inside every winter. Seemed to be in good shape but does have some rock chips, couple of (door?) scratches and a small indent in RF fender. Seller was motivated to sell before it went back into storage this month and the ad is no longer up but if you are interested the contact info might still be in my phone. Other good news is there is no snow in the forecast for the next 10 days and roads are bare and dry, Google maps says its only 3200 miles to Miami so it should only take a few days for the drive home. :)
