I prefer the Diesel as well, but around here Diesels are coveted.
ex. My 2005.5 Jetta 2.5l with no know issues was less than $5600, whereas a 2006 TDI base with 197,000 (more than twice the mileage of my 05.5) plus a boatload of issues was listed for $7900 (and it needed probably another 2500 to pass inspection).
In the end I'm thrilled with the 05.5.
