Umm, I thought Shinka were only in Black Cherry?

and tan interior

 

salvage title - could have been repainted.

 

Nope!
Not a Sinka... only a "Stinka", salvage title and all.
Seller probably doesn't have any Rotary savay...
Nice find!

 

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.

 

No tan interior either.

 

That is no Shinka. In addition to the color, there's the little detail that a Shinka *says* "Shinka" on the door post.

 

Not a shinka! 2005 Shinka's were only available in Black Cherry.

If it were an '06....it could have been a Shinka...

 

I didn't even notice it was a salvage. It looks great, what do you suppose happened to it for it to be salavged?

 

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!

 

where does it show the questions from others?

 

I just posted those questions and it didn't show up

 

they're not public unless they choose to make them public. It's probably a flood car. Someone should just run the VIN in CarFax and see what it says.

 

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"

 

It's not a totaled Shinka, as the VIN doesn't show up on the file from Mazda, listing all the Shinka VIN's.

 

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.

 

lol, shinka! Those questions crack me up. Keep us posted.

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.

 

You could always report him to Ebay noting that he is misrepresenting the car.

 

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.

 

alright man, you need to learn how to post in the right place...

oh yeah, youre the one who misread some guy's post & then mocked it... hmmmm.... be careful, please...



muahahahahahaha.....

 

I have had no response from my questions to the seller.

 

Interesting. That's how I feel about the lounge.

 

Still no response from the seller...wonder why.

 

Jesus, Ebay makes it nearly impossible to report an item that has been misrepresented.
