Congrats, and another joins the faithful.
Be discerning where you take your car and as suggested below, park defensively. Also, maintain your car appropriately and address “issues” as they arise; don’t put them off. Having more than 3 things “broken” in a car at any one time can get you distressed to the point that you won’t want to drive it, and that would be a shame.
Good luck with your new purchase. I know you will enjoy it for years to come.
