99,000 miles for a Toyota is just a warmup. It is easily good for twice that mileage, and likely good for three times that mileage.

Every month of your life that you have a car payment is one less month that you can save that money for an emergency fund, or for retirement, or for your children's education.

BailOut is right on this. It would be a stupid financial error to sell your current Yaris and then get a new one.

You really need to grow up and develop a sense of delayed gratification. To often people sell perfectly good cars for the latest, and doing this often in one's life time can do massive damage to their financial futures.

And what will the new Yaris provide that the old one won't, and if there is anything to that, is it worth the cost in real money? Never!

The "happiness" and "excitement" one gets from a new car is eventually gone and all that is left is the consequence of a stulid mistake.

Grow up, son ;-)

All the OP wanted to know is how much is car is worth, not a whole sermon on life
Sorry OP, some of us get carried away
