I may as well have what I want......right? Just curious what you guys think. OR ?

No. Buying and selling cars often costs a lot of money. You never get taxes back. I have set my mirrors once and thay have been fine ever since. Whos to say in a few years that you wont be happy with your new Yaris and want something different since once again there is equity. If you do get the new car, don't trade in sell your old Yaris on your own and save yourself $2,000.
