2009 Toyota Matrix 1.8

2009 Toyota Matrix 1.8

Proud new (to me) owner of a base auto 2009 Toyota Matrix 1.8. The car only had 2 owners and both did extensive meticulous maintenance on it and I got it with only 124k miles. Have already gone on several road trips just fine.

Cosmetic upgrades planned:

• radio and back up cam

• tint

• black hubcaps

Preventative maintenance planned:

• trans drain and fill (was last done about 50k miles ago)

• PCV valve

• clean MAF sensor

• engine and cabin air filters

• serpentine belt

• throttle body cleaned

• I live in the rust belt, and it has some surface rust underneath but am going to get it woolwaxed/undercoated

I've already had the car looked over by a mechanic I trust, and with the maintenance history it has, pretty much checks out, but are there any other small things that are easily overlooked that should be replaced due to simply just age that I should add to the list?
