repairs on a diesel are also thousands more $$

On what engine? Injection pump, maybe a lift pump, but what else is there? Oil changes are spendy so is a radiator, but that's about it.
With such limited mileage it would take a long, long time to offset the additional cost. Also, since diesel is more expensive, at least on the east coast, it takes even longer to pay off.
If you tow 10k+ and/or all the time it makes sense. Otherwise it's just personal preference. One thing I didnt like about my GM diesel was not being able to tow in OD. ~3k rpm with a diesel for 3+ hours is a major headache. Way too much noise.
