Buying first car at carmax, need tips!

Hey! As the title says, I’m buying my first car at carmax (well, my first financed car), and I know I’m gonna be paying more than the car costs since my credit union only approved me for like 85% of the car cost since I’m a first time buyer and I’m 20 with a part time… But I already have the rest of the money I will put down (let’s say it’s around $6k) … So I need some tips since it’s my first time buying at carmax.. should I do maxcare?? I’m a female and I know a little to none about cars … are there any other stuff I need to know?

Also, I checked the car history report and it’s good, I don’t see any issues, but still I want to make sure since I want to keep this car as long as it lasts me. What should I do?

(for reference, it’s a 2021 honda civic ex hatchback, with 22k miles, no accidents reported, 1 owner, and I will go test drive it on monday, since I already paid for shipping!)
