Yes, resale value will be down when you do sell a US vehicle here.
No import duty if you do bring one in, as it is built in North America, but you have all the taxes to deal with, plus an inspection, border agent fees, and changing small items like the speedometer. If it was a collector car, I could see bringing it in, but not so much for an eight year old used car.
The 3.0s tend to be the same price here, the V8 models haven't held their value as much. If you want a 4.4, you can find them.
There isn't a reliability difference with the year (once you get past 2001) but the 2004+ models have a more efficient engine in the 4.4, a better AWD system, and a six speed transmission.
