When buying older, does mileage trump age or age trump mileage?

Interested to hear Oppo’s take on this. For reference, I’ve been considering reducing debt and the first place to start would be moving on from my S3. Love the car, not the payment :).

Anyway, one car I’m considering is the 2009-2012 GS350. Nice to drive, great interior quality and overall reliability. In the budget I’ve set for myself, I’m finding cars with as little as about 90k miles for a 2009 model, but cars as new as 2011 with higher miles, like 115k.

In that instance, which would you go with given similar condition and maintenance histories?  The 2009 with 90k or the 2011 with 115k?
