Default Paddle Shift Paddles

Found an 06 on the big auction site that says it is a 6 speed paddle shift.
Can't find the two paddles on the steering wheel arms.
Are they placed anywhere else? This is making me suspicious of this car.
Car is in Myrtle Beach.

The paddles are located at the 3 and 9 clock positions, the console shifter will only have D and S instead of numbers. If there are no paddles the car is an 05 which still had the 4 speed automatic which did not have paddles. The 05 steering wheel has 4 spokes and the 06-08 have 3 spoke steering wheels.
