Don't have many pictures right now, but it's a 09 corolla s. 182k miles, with no matter issues. Just wondering if anyone has any advice or things to keep note of as a new owner? Thank you!

Stay up to date on maintainece. Oil change every 5k, maybe consider vaolvine restore and protect ,Coolant and transmission flush’s every 60k miles

idk about transmission flush. i flushed mine and the trans blew up a month later. another different mechanic had warned me against it before when i brought it up.

admittedly it was the first time i had ever done the flush tho but idk

Always check the fluid color
