Looking for a shinka and it has to be AT.

Preferably an 06 Copper red.
mileage 40k and under, under 25k would be best.
ill offer 14k and down from there

I am just going to tell you this now. Finding an 06 for 14k with that few miles will be pretty much impossible. 04's for with that mileage go for around that price.

Yo Astre, check this out.

At least I didn't say never! There is probably a reserve price on it, but you might be able to push him down to 15000 or so on it. It's a pretty good deal. 14k would be hard, but if you can go just a lil higher you might be able to get this one.

VictorD

Yeah, it does look pretty nice. Its not my preference... But I was scrolling through for myself looking at rx8's and reading rx8club at the same time, and his post came up right when I was passing through this.

lol. I like my VR personally. I had a Tigrey that got totaled first though. I am pretty much stuck in the 04 range for now being an 18 year old still in school.

VictorD

Wow. Same thing.. Except I had a shinka GT 06. Brillian Black. Got totaled, and now Im stuck in the 04 range. im almost 17. :\

Did they have AT as an option on the Shinka? I thought they only came with the 6SPD

VictorD

They have the AT's. Not many of them though. I had a 6.

Cole33

Manuals are better anyway.

VictorD

100% agreed.

Astre

aw man yea i I saw that but it's a manual, I'm looking for automatic especially. Man it's hard to find an AT shinka out there.

I'd love to drive manual but i just can't handle it yet, and heck with tiptronic option it'll get me started on manual training.


I lowball on the price, yea, but hey doesn't hurt to try.

still looking for it though, throw me an offer if you do have one for sale.

navyslideby

ya why do you want an AT??? they are slower and less fun....
and tiptronic doesnt train you for ****, its an automatic. period.

Astre

oh dude, really? i should do more research on that stuff...

yea I live in a city, stop and go with manual is going to burn me out fast.

my way to work would've be half an hour highway, so I thought hmm AT with tipto should fit pretty good. guess not.

know what i'll train on manual and comeback later on.

darn navy thanks, i really need to do my homework.

close thread?

Its a lot easier to get a hang of driving a manual than you would think. Seriously.... The first couple days will feel bizarre. The first week or two you will be able to do reasonably well at it but still be a little nervous driving in heavy traffic. After a couple of weeks you will be totally comfortable with it. And after a month or two you won't even notice its there anymore....

Find someone who knows how to drive one to teach you, cause it is a lot easier to learn from a person than it is to try to learn yourself on the internet or something ha.

But yeah I promise you that it really isn't a hassle to drive a manual in traffic once you get the hang of it. Its actually enjoyable. Makes you feel like you have a lot more control over the car than an automatic does in my opinion.

Cole33

Starting from a stop is the hardest thing. Once you get a hang of that, everything else is cake. I just drove it around in a parking lot for a couple of days starting and stopping, and then was fine. But the paddle shifters are nothing like a manual. At all. I didn't use them very often when I had my AT.

My 05 Shinka is an automatic. When I first bought the car I kept wanting to shift it. The automatic just does not seem natural.

VictorD

Bro. I say learn how to do it... It really isn't rocket Science. I am 16 and drive clutch like a champ. Its worth it. The lack of HP the autos have is so noticeable. Besides if it wasnt for the MT rx8, everyone would be laughing at the poor excuse for a sports car that it is in AT.

edit* ment to quote Astre.

When I bought my 06 Shinka it only had 30k on it! that was this year :] good thing I found it for such a good deal (;
