Hello there,
virtually all used cars have some surprises - it only depends how nosy the new owner is and whether he/she strives for catching them all!
Not to mention that 10+ year old car simply HAS to have some issues. From that perspective your trade was quite a bargain I would say! As long as there are no repairs needed that would cost a fortune....
I guess your roads are not enriched with salt during winter, right? Your car will have long and happy life with you! I am trying to give my car everything it deserves but the winters here are salty and the protection against corrosion is weak AF for these cars. Comparing to 15 year old Volkswagen Golf - there is not a single rusty stain there while on Yaris... doh!
