You contradict yourself. You WOULD want to maintain your car as best as possible so that you'd get the most trade-in value for your car when the time comes. Besides, not all of us trade-in our cars as frequently (or infrequently) as you do. As well, there are people who exceed 150K within 2yrs of owning their Yaris. If they do that much driving, don't you think it's a justifiable investment to purchase synthetic oil? What about people who live in areas with colder climates? Should they not invest in synthetic oil, regardless of how inexpensive the Yaris is? Don't just view things from your eyes.

And since oil doesn't need to be changed so often, throwing in a few extra dollars for synthetics isn't going to hurt. I mean, we throw more money than that away every single day on our unnecessary luxuries, fast food (some of us), beer, etc. Big deal, you get me?
