To be honest, if I were a few years younger I would probably have bought a used Jetta diesel or even driven my '83 300D on long trips and repaired them myself if they broke down, but at my age I wanted a car that got 40+ mpg on the highway, had an extended warranty, a large number of dealers nationwide, and a very good repair record. Also, since the car will mostly be used locally, the 50+ mpg/city of the Prius made it the best choice. If a person is lucky enough to have more money than time left to spend it when they retire, the price of their car is not the most important factor. There are some things I don't like about the Prius (their seats might as well have been made of wooden boards), and the drivers space is cramped. Since the resale price for clean Prius' is one of the highest, I might wind up with a different car entirely.
