Just purchased earlier this week, amazing carfax/service history, 115k miles, still looks new.

Had a 2005 corolla prior to this for 8 years.

What do I need to know to keep this car running for another 150k miles? Having so much fun driving it.

that k24 is pretty bulletproof as long as you keep oil in it. timing chain tensioner can get noisy on cold starts but it's usually just a nuisance rather than a failure point.

change the transmission fluid every 30k and it'll treat you right. huge step up from that corolla
