I'm now considering selling the Yaris, buying a cheap snotter and using the surplus from the Yaris sale to pay off more of my debt.
A decent plan, but don’t forget old cars go wrong too, so might not actually save you all that much.
Yeah, that's the downside to the plan.

I thought you liked the Yaris—you do quite a number of miles so would be good to keep a newish reliable car, I’d have thought.
I do like it, but you know me, get easily bored. A better description is simply that I haven't found anything to dislike about it. But yes, having a newer and reliable car, that I know is reliable, does make more sense.
Got to weigh up the pros and cons. If I do get a cheap snotter, it'd have to be something reasonably reliable and comfortable. Auto preferable and decent fuel economy would be good, but isn't as important if I've only got £1,000-£1,500 in the car in the first place.
