They were only black cherry in the North American market. Some other markets had silver shinka's as well. However, I doubt this is one of them.
Nothing like those new salavage cars though.

Not a shinka! 2005 Shinka's were only available in Black Cherry.
If it were an '06....it could have been a Shinka...

Someone should post to the "Ask seller a question" -
"Hi - I just noticed this is not a Shinka. Why are you advertising this as a Shinka?"
Those questions are public, so others can see them!

I asked the seller what made it a Shinka, was it the lack of the tan interior, the wrong B pillar appliques, the wrong rims, the lack of the bright accents in the headlights and taillights, or the lack of the VIN being on Mazda's Shinka registry.

Damn it Shinka, you beat me to it!
Should be fun to see how he responds to all of our questions.

Salvage title, + Wrong model (shinka) + Incorrect VIN (carfax cannot find the VIN) =
Probably a flood car, or a Totaled Shinka VIN affixed to a stolen RX-8. I've seen people sellling on ebay the "clean" title + Vin plates of a totaled car (of course with a minimum ammount of chassis attached to them shipped optional) for "project car/racing purposes"

According to Carfax, it has both a salvage title and a junk title. It was also listed as a commercial vehicle (not personal vehicle).
Anyone get a message back from the seller yet? I sent one too pointing out the misrepresentation.
I really dislike eBay sellers who do things like this. It makes the 99% who are honest look bad.

Sorry for the misinfo re public comments. I guess maybe I was thinking of half.com? Amazon? I thought eBay did that as well. My B.

This is the only forum on this site that, so far, just leaves me cold. And incredulous. And bored.
To the person who waves at other RX-8s: Don't stop. I do, too, and I wave back. It's that kinda car.
