Advice with buying a used Acura?

I currently own a 2001 Honda Odyssey and am very happy with it. I'm looking at either a 2010 Acura MDX with 31,000 miles for $28000 or a 2011 MDX with 25,000 miles for $31000. I prefer the colors of the 2010, and it comes with the Technology packages. However, the 2011 is, obviously, newer and has less mileage, and I'm not going to not buy a better car just because of its looks. This is my first time buying a car by myself as well as my first time buying a used car. How important is 5000mi difference? Or, is 25000 miles too much and I should just look for a different car?
Also, any other advice is welcome! Thanks!

Added (1). I'm buying another car because I need two cars. And who knows how much longer a 13 year old car is going to last?

I would not 30 k for any import. For that much you can buy american and have a good trade in when your ready

If you have an 01 odyssey and youre happy with it, why are you buying another car? That doesn't make sense.

5000 miles will make no difference on an Acura. They are bulletproof vehicles. What's more important is how they were maintained. I assume they're coming off a lease.

Get the maintenance records and make sure the oil has been changed. With that mileage all thats really needs to be done is oil changes.

A carfax report to make sure they weren't involved in an accident.

I assume you're buying from an Acura dealer and the vehicles will be certified and warranted.

  • Possibly buying an 2004 Acura TL. Looking for testimonies? I'm thinking about buying a 2004 Acura TL from a private seller. The car as 79k on it. I heard some crazy stories regarding the transmissions on Honda products in general. That's the only thing holding me back right now. I'm not exactly sure if I want to purchase the car because I don't want to pay 4K on replacing a transmission. If you have a 04 TL can you please drop your testimony and experiences of the car. Transmission stories would be appreciated.
  • Buying a used 2000 honda cbr600 F4? Is it worth me the time and money for this bike? http://longisland.craigslist.org/mcy/4572596826.html
  • Is it worth buying a used Chevy Volt with over 100K miles on it? The price is right, but is it worth it? I know I would have to install a power charging station which is an additional 1000 dollars. There's one for sale at 14,500 dollars… But most used Volts are around 23,000 dollars. My other two considerations are a new 2015 Honda Fit or a used Mark 6 VW Golf TDI I've seen people on youtube who average 120 mpg with the volt! One guy's was even 1000 mpg, I don't think he even brought it to the gas station since he bought the car!
