2013 LUX vs 2015 HSE

Hi - looking for some advice on my first Land Rover purchase - an LR4 which will be used as a daily driver, family trips (need the 7 seats) and some over sand driving. I’ve found two well maintained vehicles that meet my needs: a ‘13 LUX with 49K miles and a ‘15 HSE with 60k miles. The ‘13 is priced about $3k less than the ‘15. Would you opt for the lower miles or newer model year?

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

do you need a v8 and low range gear box?

Not sure that I need them but like the idea of having them. Do you think that is enough to sway towards the ‘13? Are there really any benefits to buying a newer model with modestly higher mileage?

there really is no difference outside of those options above. everything else is pretty much the same except for a face lift and "apps" that do nothing except slow down the navigation and clutter the already sluggish and truncated gui. (the low range box and tow pkg is available on 2014+ but very rare. hardly ever find one with it equipped. i guess they probably could've add a "mall crawl" feature to the terrain response instead of off-road."
