What SUV?

Mike and I are in the process of deciding what type of SUV we are going buy. The 2000 Mini-Van we have from my parents is slowly dieing. It works fine in the summer, but when it is cold the transmission does not like to start working. Once you get it to go it is good but...yea. We plan on selling or trading the Van in. So the SUV. Mike has been looking for some time and has even test drove a few. Right now at the top of the list are Nissian's Xterra, Murano, and Pathfinder. We have also considered the Hyundai Santa Fe, Honda Pilot, and Nissian Rogue. Along with decided WHAT one we like most we also are deciding New vs. Used. I think I am more on the Used side because we want a few more bells and whistles than the Versa has. However the problem with used is you do not know who really owned it before you or how they took care of it. Of course the dealership is going to tell you its perfect and had only one owner who took really good care of it but they are trying to make some money. Mike is undecided. As for which on we like most we are trying to decide how big or small of a vehicle we want. Do or will we need enough room to seat 7 or is 5 seats OK. How much do we really want to spend, what % of a down payment do we want, and how fast can will we be able to pay it off? How crappy is the gas mileage going to be? How much is insurance going to be? What interest rate are we going to get? It is all about the MONEY for me!! We really do not care too much about the color, just not White or Black.
