Currently looking for a used AWD IS 250. In my area I have found two options, a 2008 and a 2012. Debating between the two, both have approximately 220,000 kms. The 2008 is CAD$6000 and the 2012 is CAD$10000. The 2008 is the cheaper of the two options but price is not the driving factor in the decision.

Which of the two cars is the better option in terms of build quality and specs? Any advise on what to check for either model year will be appreciated. Hoping to purchase a car that will last at least five years and will drive approximately 20,000 km each year.

Any advise will be appreciated. Thank you.
