Guest gothy Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 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 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 Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermonkey Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Good luck Chris, the auto box is very good, although for £4k you should be able to get a manual, welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
