458 prices remain firm around £160k for the Italia model, but double that for the Speciale model. I think some of this is due to cost of change for these owners to go to a 488 is too much and the 488 moves Ferrari out of the NA models into twin turbo-charged models which perhaps holds people back?
The Ferrari section on PH's is helpful to understand the market dynamics and models.
The F430 car is is the F136 4.2l V8 which I very reliable. The 458 is 7-speed dual clutch where the F430 is 6-speed F1 single plate clutch.
I'm not sure that you'll be priced out of a 997 Turbo in time with the way Ferrari prices are going. But its a judgement call what is best for you.
The ideal is as you say, keep the Turbo and have the Ferrari - be it a F430 or a F458.
Worth phoning and speaking to Tim Walker and AV Engineering to get specialist advice.
