Congrats you have yourself a shinka. Yes the seats are really nice and the suede holds you in place nicely. I'm tired of people getting hustled saying the dealer sold them a shinka and it really wasn't. You can probably talk him down a little more since it is an 06. Good luck with your purchase.

They came in Black, White, Gray, and a Copper Red, sort of Burnt orangish color). If it's sort of a Purplish black in the sun is and 05.....WAY too much money...Is it new? Look at the Kelly Blue book on it, and see what it says, price wise.they are almost 2 model years old, so you probably could get even a better deal..... Does it have SHINKA written on the sides between the doors.....and oriental script as well. The center console sides should be a black shiny high gloss or what they call "piano black", in an 06. The SHINKA is a package....some changes interior as well as an upgraded suspension...Good luck and keep us posted.

A burnt orangish color?!?!?!
I know what you mean in the morning under the rising sun it seems a slightly orange. It changes color depending on what mood it's in. I like it when it's deep dark red, that's when she is the fastest.
Bam-0 That was the shinka (briliant black) I originally wanted but had to wait for my wife to come back from her deployment so that she could see it and a week later it was sold. You can definitely talk them down with 20k miles on it.
