Salvage auctions are like casinos, even for those with decades of experience repairing cars. You can get burned badly with no recourse.
You've got yourself in quite a pickle with 14 months left on a lease and 45 k miles in 22 months?
2k miles a month=$400, plus the lease $325, plus fuel, insurance and taxes. Sounds like a grand a month.
My advice would be to get the lease paid off and the Yaris financed, probably with a dedicated credit card ($10-12k total), assuming you're not in credit card trouble as well.
If you have the fortitude to really get yourself straightened out, pay the grand a month on the credit card and get out of short term debt.
I would negotiate turning the car in ASAP, or you just pay taxes and insurance plus other fees for a car you will not drive.
I don't expect this advice to be appreciated.
