SE-Michigan where I live is built atop a salt mine so lots of salt is used on the roads every winter. The $2 or $3 equivalent "free" car washes that are available with a fill-up at some gas stations are a great way to get the salt off.
My 2000 9-5 has 291,000 miles, has always been driven on salty winter Michgan roads, and has no exterior rust other than a small pock mark on the rear passenger side door I need to get fixed. Even the underside is nearly rust free.
Get the salt off as often as you are conveniently able, but don't worry excessively. My car has proven to be very salt resistant.
