Purchased a 2011 Honda Accord EX-L V6 from the local Acura dealer with 129k. Maintenance records via carfax show all the regular maintenance was performed by Honda dealers at the scheduled times. What should I do for best longevity? Thinking about things like...AT 205 in the power steering and transmission? Spray the suspension with AT 205?
No, don't pour any additives into working components unless you want to replace them soon.

Look under “I bought a car. Now what?” under sticky at FAQ:

Then also look here for longevity: key is to be on top of your engine and transmission oil changes since those are high $$$ and want to extend their life as long as possible.

Don't start doing things that aren't needed. Just follow the maintenance schedule every 5k miles and you'll get the most you can out of it.
well since you just bought it id drain and fill all fluids/change spark plugs/air filter and only buy good quality oil and not go to dealer/lube shops. WITH HONDA OEM FLUID ONLY FROM DEALER. Do not put anything aftermarket Honda is very particular. for plugs use NGK Iridium doesnt have to be from dealer
if you dont want to do it urself find independent shop/shade tree mech to save overhead I would not go to a dealer for fluids because theyre going to ruin it and flush instead of drain and fill (since they hire min wage workers who need to upsell you to keep their jobs is another problem)
After you put new fluids in, id change trans fluid every 30k with honda fluid only. and engine oil every 5k with mobil 1 extended performance
Aside from scheduled maintenance, just dont floor it and take your time accelerating. Goodluck
