How rare are we Red maximas?

This thought came across my mind today, how many Crimson Blaze red maximas were made? I know they are rare, but how rare?

If I'm not mistaken only 99 SE-L's had that color option.

Yes I know, but the question is, how many had the red color?

Yea before I got my red max, I had only seen 1 or 2 in my lifetime, so thats why im wondering how many exist. 1500 seems like alot for people only seeing like 1 or 2 ever. I live in a large metro area, so either 1498 are owned in a different area, or its less than 1500.

Ive seen 2 here in south florida, both were in horible horible shape, one had alot of patches of primer as if it was in reperation, bubled up tint, unevern suspension. they just let that maxima go to waste, what a shame.
The other seemed ok but it was just very very dirty and also had purple bubled up tint and a dent in the fender. also the engine didnt sound to healthy (sorta like an 88 camry whose seeing its final days)

i haven't seen any, but i'm from Canada (don't think they made them up here). But if you think about it, if there are 1-4 in cities around the US, then i'm sure 1500 is very possible, cause they're are a lot of cities, and probrobly a lot that no one ever see's.

My Maxima looks just like yours except the clear bumper lights. Mine got STOLEN after six months I had them on. Bought them from custommaxima, but now they are gone.

I have seen 1 red 3rd gen(back in the day, my older brother almost bought it....he brought it home and I think that is when I fell in love with maximas).

I have seen 2 red 99's other than mine. Supposedly, there is one running around here in my city just like mine. That sucks, because I used to have the only one anywhere around here. My brother told me he saw it a couple of weeks ago with clears. He thought it was me. Then, this morning, a friend of mine calls and asks if I got some rims. I told him no, but I bet it was that other guy. I have yet to see the other one, but I was to talk to him and tell him this is my territory. He cannot just come into this red max's turf and take over. He must bow. ha ha. He is not on the org, but I would like to get him to be.

I think the ones back in 92 were called Aztec Red. That was the only other year they made a bright red, I believe.

I know how it feels, you gotta be the only red maxima in the area, atleast i am. I get many complements from people because of how nice my car looks, red isnt very common so people take notice when they see my car.

I picked mine up in DFW area. Mine might have been one of the ones you saw. This was last year. I saw it on ebay, and then called the guy and told him I would buy it right then. We agreed on a price and it was all over then.

Yea, my car wasnt maintained as well as id liked it to be, the paint was a little dull in some areas, but I buffed those out right away. Did a full wash, claybar, DOUBLE polish, and wax allover the whole car just a couple weeks ago. The red is just amazing now. Even though it is an auto, the red was worth it, cant pass this color up.

You guys really want to know which is the most rare color on a 4th Gen you hardly ever see here or on the street(at least for me) for that matter: Mahogany Pearl on '99's
