hello,

 

Im new to the forum :)

 

Im interested in buying a toyota supra, for a weekend car, within the next two months.

 

I've had a look around the internet, and ive seen only a few in the flesh, so any information you have about buying a good one, and what to look out for would be brilliant :D

 

I will probably get a 3L auto non turbo, as these seem to be the most abundant, and in my price range of £3k to £4k.

I've noticed the 3l twin turbo manual are as rare as hens teeth lol

 

There is a local Japanese import garage near me, but they are not very approachable on anything you need to ask :(

 

I look forward to being part of the forum :)

wow thanks for the quick reply's, and welcomes :)

Much more accomodating than some other supra forums.

 

Here's a bit more information about me; Im 21, and currently studying accounting at univeristy. Im a biker too I ride a honda fireblade, summer weekend toy :D

As for my age insurance isnt really a problem now, its so much cheaper.

Im currently driving a skoda octavia Tdi

 

So any idea's of any problems I should look out for?

I've never driven an auto car, if I can pick up a manual I will, if not what are the auto's like to drive?

The photo's ive seen of the autobox, have P,R,N,D,2,L whats L ??

L will stand for Low, which will be the lowest gear you can select on the autobox.

 

Effectively the first gear of a manual car :D
