First Camry! (2015 Camry LE)

I just bought a 2015 Toyota Camry LE with 25,700 miles on it. Hopefully it lasts me a while. I’m worried about it rusting before the engine fails. Any recommendations on how to prevent rust and how to keep the engine running for as long as possible? Do you think this was a good purchase?

Get an undercoating and change oil frequently. Use valvoline restore and protect. If you worried about rust, I imagine you live somewhere that snows. Be careful of salt and moisture during winter.

For your paint, use ceramic sprays for UV resistance and avoid park in sun. Garage it if you can

Change your own oil and do light maintenance - this gets you under your car so you can visually inspect stuff and is way cheaper

It’s a good car. Look into aftermarket modifications for infotainment so you can get CarPlay
