TLC 78 <> 105 <> new models

[Cedric Vandermeulen]

Hi,

I am in doubt as to what to choose for myself and wife + daughter for living in Dakar / Senegal, with, needless to say, regular Sahara - trips already in my mind.
The advantage of a current 78 : roomier, proven
The advantage of a current 105 : 5 doors so easier access for the family
From production January 2007 however these models are going to disappear (arriving on the market in March 2007).
The "new" 78 is going to be 8 cm larger, so roomier again, the 105 is not going to be produced anymore and the new model code 76 will be a 78 with 4 doors.
As things currently stand I would prefer to get a new 105 (easier in daily use and my wife doesn't like the 78 anymore after having driven them for years). I am a bit afraid as to infancy diseases in any new model although, of course, the Toyota quality build should avoid these, but then again. I presume that when I will be selling the car in 6 years time the resale value of a newer model will be higher as to an older model.
Any thoughts ?

Thanks,

Cedric
