Im looking at an SE-L on the net and called about it, the gentleman at the dealership told me it was an automatic car whereas the ad on the internet claims its a 5speed car.

My question is, can the Crimson Red 99 SE-L even come with an automatic?

 

Yes it can. It was just like any other Maxima. Just a "limited" color option for the 99.5

 

Yeah, they did come in auto. I recall reading here a long time ago that something like 900 Crimson Blaze's were made and ~250 were 5 speed.

 

My 99 SEL is Crimson Blaze and an auto.

 

Mine is crimson and manual, but most were auto. If its a manual, id jump on it fast.
