Default RX '11 350 35k v/s '13 49k miles

We are looking to buy a car and see 2 options for color we want and with navigation and AWD and both are CPO:
1st dealer offering '11 with 35k miles for 35k
2nd dealer offering '13 with 49k miles for 33k

Both the cars have navigation AWD, Premium, comfort package.

Which is the better option?

You would have to look at them in person. Newer year is always better. On top of it, '13 had the face-lift and updated Enform with Apps.

Go with 2013.
I used to have a 2011 which i traded for a 2013 just for the LED running lights and the spindle grill.
Same color and same combination.

And the 2013 is cheaper.
Don't worry too much about the milage, it's CPO and it's a Toyota.

If we're talking German like BMW or Audi, i'd be more concerned about the milage.

'13 all the way, for just a few miles more and it's cheaper!

Wow! 49K miles in maybe a little over a year!?!? That seems like a LOT of miles for a car that young. Maybe CPO makes it acceptable, but it would scare me. I would sure want to look at the maintenance record!

Then again, I'm pretty sure I'm the world's WORST judge of previously owned cars on the entire planet. I have terrible luck!

2013 all the way, even with the mileage. Good Luck!

Thanks a lot for the information and I picked the '13. It was on road since 12/7 so almost 50k in 2 years but all services were done in dealership so hopefully should be fine.

Congrats! Those are going to be freeway miles, which cause less wear.
Toyota vehicles are designed to last 200K miles, so there's plenty to go.
