Define decent compadre.
The average mileage for a car in the UK is allegedly 7900 miles a year. The oldest 458s are now 6.5 years old. There is only 1 car for sale in the UK on Autotrader that has more than half that average mileage (being still less than 33k miles). The next leggiest has only 23k on the clock for a late 2009 car (and is a LHD and the third cheapest in the country). 13 cars with over 15k miles on the clock out of almost 100 on Autotrader (the majority of which have less than that average mileage for a single years use on the clock - even the older ones).
There are of course over 1200 458s in the country (when you add coupes and Spyders, excluding specials), so they aren't as rare as unicorn tears either, yet few of them seem to be getting any real use... :?:
[Perspective - there are around 120 UK spec 997.2 GT3s - an order of magnitude less].
[For the sake of disclosure - I really like 458s and I think that it ought to be some kind of crime that they are almost all so little used].
