2008 IS-F w/ low miles or high mileage 2011 IS-F?

I always look for a LOW mileage car personally no matter the age, for example when I went searching for my F (white being one of my fav's) I had the choice of a few out there but had narrowed it down to mine or a 2012 grey CPO at a Lexus dealer w 26k miles for $7k more. I ended up with what you see in my sig with 17k miles & 1 owner car.

^ yea mine had 46K miles on it and $37K but now is at riverside lexus for sale for $49K lol
You can find a good deal if you are patient otherwise you can get ripped off from the dealer and buy my old car for $49K!

True but it was the matter of under $40k vs $47k plus the tax diiferences & I really dig the white vs the dark grey the other dealer had. I could have dropped extra $$ but I did not want to go over $40k personaly. When you have another expensive hobby (not car related) you have to sacrifice some I guess

I've talked with 3 mechanics about which to choose and they all said - lower mileage vehicle is the way to go everytime....unless you are really hooked on having a perfect ride then go with the '11. But to be honest I like my 08 ISF with the KW3, FIGS, MEGAN it has on it. Ride is amazingly smooth compared to stock 08 - except steering feels not as solid as a stock 2011.

i think mileage isn't as much a factor as maintenance. id rather a higher mile car with all service records than a low mile car with no history that has just been sitting. cars need to be driven and maintained.
