He said it has 12 cylinders, and he said its a shinka. Correst me if I am wrong but I think shinkas only come in a certain color.

Wink Salesman...

He listened too closely to the salesmans crap. Not really his fault!

Not posting the VIN seems kind of shady to me (or is there a legitimate reason to keep the VIN private when you are trying to sell the car?

Cloth seats+ sunroof= RX-8 touring, NOT shinka guy needs to research his vehicle more (probably one of those people that sells used cars posing as the owners to avoid having to register himself as a used car dealer... evrything about the listing seems not quite right to me)

BUYER BEWARE

Sooo lazy . . .

He gives the following info at the BOTTOM of the page:

" First off this car has a ROTARY engine it has no cylinders, they did not give me that option above.

. . .

Note: Not completely 100% positive that this is a shinka model, i was told by a mazda employee that this is a race model car and therefore it would take longer for parts, so i'm assuming it is a shinka because i don't know of any other race models. "

It sounds like a scam.

Let me report this to ebay , so they can take this listing and maybe the user down.

I actually contacted this seller. I was nice, but I explained that the Shinka model first came out in '05 (not '04) and was in Black Cherry Only. I also explained that the Shinka is not a racing model, but rather an upgraded luxury/accents package with an upgraded suspension. Performance wise it is the same as any other RX-8 (AT or MT).

Oh wait, he's the seller.
