I'm so sorry you are hurting. I know a new yorkie wont take the place of Duke, but I know it will help heal the heart.
After I lost Kloey who was also hit by a car, I got Lillie 2 weeks later and it was the best thing I could have done!
So I say GO for it!!
Maybe you can find a breeder who will work payments with you, $500 down is a lot. Then maybe you can work out some deal.
