Find out, it will save you the trouble of doing it when the head gasket goes. That's all these cars are notorious for. Other than that, solid car
You will come take me for a spin immediately after you get the car!
Turbo?

Cool! It's not the Turbo model, is it? I'm also jealous because like the 3rd gen Maxima, the Supra has hidden pull-up interior door handles vs. the standard visible pull-out latches.
If you must drive in winter, get some dedicated snows and throw a few bags of salt in the trunk, but otherwise, try to park it b/c that Japanese metal cannot withstand salt.
Did you get it at JTD, or the other place called Loo Loo Auto (an extremely ghey name)??

Are you driving it in the winter? If so, I suggest some winters, and I also suggest a driving session in a parking lot once the snow hits. You'll want to get a feel for how it handles in snow before you hit the roads. You should do the following:
Sharp turn at 20km, 40km/h and 60km/h (both directions)
Sudden stop (locking the tires) at the same speeds as above, and at 80 km/h and 100 km/h
Controlled stop (not locking the tires) at the same speeds as above
If you can do a slalom in snow, I highly suggest it. With about 5 curves.
Also, don't put any sand in the back. You may add a little traction, but the weight will also decrease your chances of recovering from a skid.
Of course if you are not driving it in the winter, then ignore all the above.
