I want to say that a year or two ago I saw yaris engines going on ebay for around $4000.... think they were supposed to be new tho.

I can't imagine the 1.5L to ever die before 150k, unless there was a complete negligence on the part of the driver... I mean... it'd have to be run dry of oil, or engine coolant I'd think to kill an engine quickly..... maybe if you ran it without an air filter.... but you'd get other wierd issues long before the engine died. the MAF sensor would start getting all buggy and the rpm's would go all crazy.
