2005 Mazda RX-8 Special Edition "SHINKA"

Shinka Special Edition a total production run of 2150 RX-8's in 2005. The some of the features of the special edition include the Black Cherry Exterior, special bright finish wheels, and bright-chrome head and tail light fixtures. On the inside, parchment leather seats and more use of piano black accents provide a look and feel of luxury. Looks aren't all that changed on this RX-8, however. Chassis improvements include:

* Suspension cross member injected with foaming urethane improving performance and ride quality
* Unique Suspension tuning with thicker 14mm damper shafts (up from 12mm)

Other Equipment includes:

* Interior Design: Seat & Trim Material -- Parchment Leather with soft-back seats (Light Beige)
* Steering Wheel -- Sewing pattern change (4 pieces -> 2 pieces) & Colored Stitch
* MT Shift **** -- Colored Stitch
* Parking brake lever – PVC -> Leather & Colored Stitch
* Front & Rear Consol Lid -- PVC -> Leather
* Rotary Bezel -- Chrome -> Semi-gloss
* Meter Ring -- Chrome -> Semi-gloss
* Ventilation grille -- Chrome -> Semi-gloss
* Center panel Ring -- Chrome -> Semi-gloss
* HVAC Dial -- Chrome -> Semi-gloss
* Shift-base Ring -- Chrome -> Semi-gloss
* SW Bezel -- Material color -> Piano black

* Bose 300 Watt, 9 Speaker Sound System with Audio Pilot noise suppression technology 6 Disc CD Changer Satellite Radio receiver with 1 year Sirius subscription (N/A Hawaii & Alaska)

* Fog Lamps
* 8-way Power Driver's Seat w/Lumbar Support
* Heated Mirrors and Seats

I installed a Stock spoiler, The front and rear ROTARY ACCENT package, Fender Strakes, RX-8 center caps, and installed chrome tail-lights and clear side markers with the chrome lights. The chrome lights still light up amber so no problem seeing them at night. I also bought a Black/Grey custom RX-8 Car cover. The car has about 13,000 miles on it. The Kelley Blue book Retail price is 25,540 and Private sell is 22,475 base. Also I have custom SHINKA plates. Asking 21,000 OBO. Any reasonable offers will be considered!
