To trade or not to trade?

Scotty, I totaled my 2019 Toyota Camry SE a month ago at 180k miles…  So a couple weeks later, I didn’t want a car payment again, so I went out and got another one with 175k miles… BUT it came with a religious maintenance history, runs like a brand new car, and the transmission doesn’t do any of that annoying stuff that many 8th gen Camry owners have complained about. It’s very smooth and in mint condition…. Better than other ones I test drove that had 120-140k miles.
  But now, part of me is considering seeing how much the dealership will give me for it if I trade it for a brand new or Camry XLE or XSE hybrid… I did get a new one, or even a barely used one that’s a year or two old with very low miles, I’d definitely end up keeping it for 10+ years since that hybrid system has a good track record for reliability and I don’t drive as much as I used to…. 
  Looking back, hybrid is probably the route I should have gone from the start. I can afford a car payment but… is it worth it ?

(Big fat NO on Corollas or any other tiny little claustrophobic cars)
