Default 2011 low mile or 2013 high mile?

I've got my 570 search narrowed down to two vehicles, a 2011 with 37K miles, twilight grey and 'parchment' interior. Number 2 is a 2013 with 71k miles, Nebula grey with 'parchment' as well. Looking for votes and reasoning to go with one or the other.


All input welcome.
Thanks--Don

lesser miles, - but if you like the newer style- i mean i like it too go for the newer- but that 2011 is about 3-4 years younger in miles

Input the VIN on the Lexus owner site to get the service records!

71K is too many miles for a 2013. Someone went to hell and back.

I have 67k on mine bought it brand new in August of '13. I commute 130 miles round trip a day, against the flow of traffic though. I go from the bay to the valley. Maybe the previous owner used theirs as a commuter too

Well, I pulled the trigger on the 2011 Savannah GA born and raised 570. It is to be delivered tomorrow. I just couldn't get my head around 71K miles in two years....Now I guess I have to start trying to figure out how to get HID bulbs into the headlights....

Congrats good decision. The 2011 lights are strong, check them out before you replace.

Max, thanks for the thumbs up. I am really enjoying my 570 so far, I will indeed put the eye to my lights before doing any changing. I'm in the waxing and bonding mode now--plus need to learn all the features and functionality since I didn't get an official
'delivery' to show me all the 'stuff' I have a new set of wheels/tires from my '02 Cruiser to swap out with the factory stuff on my new rig, being handicapped it is really tough for me to just change one wheel/tire much less 4 of them--maybe I can get a friend to help me out with the swap--I hope.

Concur- There are known problems with the cutoff on the HID-equipped models on bumpy/curvy/hilly roads

I was a bit disappointed that my two- vehicles-ago RX had them, and my 2011 LX did not, but those concerns were put to rest the moment I first drove the LX at night- absolutely superb illumination from the stock setup....

We bought our 2009 as a CPO. Now have 98K on it!

It's been a bullet proof vehicle.

Love the service and the ride it provides. We had looked in getting a 2011 but declined it and still use the 2009 on all family trips, ect.

When this one goes. I'll get another CPO hands down!
