these cars extremely dependable,just change the timing belt every 60,000 miles,water pump,make sure there are no leakes,thermostat,make sure you get freshoil ( or redline synthetic) in it every 3000 miles no mater what the bottle tells you,and all other lubrication maintinence(a properly lubricated engine end drive train are crutial to a peformance engines survival).take care of your brakes change the brake fliud,if the prior owner cannot produce papers for interval maintinenceof these key things assume that you need to change all of it, including your power steering fluid and all of that stuff if there are not papers to substantiate the sellers claim.pluggs air filter.have fun .hauling ass comes at a price especially if you want it to last.laters!

Hey everyone,
My dad just brought back a 95 Supra and he's giving it to me. (some guy owed my dad money but couldn't pay him back, so we got the car). I'm 17 and I just started driving and I'm a total noob to cars.
Unfortunately the car's got an automatic transmission. Does anyone know if I can do anything to change it?
Also, about how much would it be to get the car repainted? (nothing fancy, just one solid color)
