looks nice but seems a little high priced for the amount of mileage! I'd see if you could talk them down and it would b good or keep looking....you def could find a lower mileage 8 for less...

Correct me if I'm wrong but its not a shinka model. It would have polished wheels and possibly a different interior...
+1 on high price for 62K

its not a shinka. the 2005 shinka came only in black cherry mica. it's a grand touring. the sunroof/leather seats give it away.

what about checking out that rx8? its cheaper. it has less miles. and it has $10,000 in mods.

honestly, im pissed that deal wasnt around when i bought my car. and if you want, you can immediately sell the rims for $2k+trade for stock and the body kit for $2k+trade for stock.

just a heads up, I have been looking to buy an RX-8 for about 2 months now and I have noticed some 07 and 08's BRAND NEW for pretty good prices. Like a brand new 07 for about 24,000.

That might be a bit more than you would want to pay, buts its also for a new car.

It also makes you wonder why a brand new 07 would be sitting around unsold...

Have you looked at the stock market lately?

I love my 07. Not a single problem with it so far that hasn't been entirely my fault.
