buying my first car

Hi all!
My wife and I, are buying our very own first car. We want a 4WD and choose among the following options: Toyota Prado, Nissan Pathfinder, GMC Yukon or Hummer H3. Can you help us decide which one is the best in terms of durability, resale value, low cost maintenance and spare parts, not to mention the availability of service centers.

I checked brand new Toyota Prado 2008 model-4cylinder with Abdulghani dealer and the price is 110K but last price is 107K ,the latest model which is 2009-6 cylinder full option, valued as 119K with last price of 116K according to the salesman. Is this a good discount? if yes, which among these two I should choose? Or I should consider the other above mentioned cars.

Thanks in advance, your opinions are valued.

Toyota Prado 6 cyl. more power and money wise coz the reselling value of Toyota vehicles are high and Toyota will last you for decades. My Dad have a Toyota Prado 98 model and it runs smoothly until now.

Toyota & Nissan are good choices for the price bracket you have chosen, I would push for a better "last price" as the new car sales market is still down. Good luck in your car shopping
