Age or mileage ?

So in a quandry .....

Looking for a specific vehicle and came across some very different ones ....EX:

#1) 2008 with 80,000 miles
#2) 2004 with 50,000 miles
#3) 2010 with 90,000 miles

The 2004 actually drove the nicest and has a fantastic price but...

Never bought a used vehicle that old !!!

Is it about age or mileage ???

    It's really about maintenance and care.
    You could have two 2010 infiniti models equipped the same and driven the same number of miles, one would be great the other no so great. The great one was well maintained and driven with care the other was beat to death, not maintained properly, but looks as good as the great one.

    I would have a mechanic look over two and choose the one with the best results.

    Not sure about your 5.6L engine, but my 2004 4.5L Infiniti FX calls for plug replacement at 100k miles which requires removing the valve covers.
    Just me but lower mileage on a gasser is the way I'd lean.

    The 2004 with 50K would interest me more than the other two unless they were DP.
