There are no mechanical differences between the two. My wife didn't like the whiteface dials on the Ford, so we looked at and bought an 07 Mariner. The headlight buckets are definitely different, and the grill, but the real question in my mind is which one is available in the condition, mileage, and color that I am comfortable with.
You can get a pretty good idea of what they are selling for, v6, mileage, and trim level by year if you look at craigslist.org, autotrader.com and KBB. The last will give you private seller and dealer prices, fair, good and excellent, buying or selling, trade in or straight sale. It takes a little effort to find a reasonable price for the condition, miles, etc as noted. I got a ballpark for the difference between the 6 and the 4, and then the mileage cost/value for a given year from those sources. As they say, YMMV.
