Thoughts on 40k+ mile 458 spider?

I would say go for it. These cars are well built. There's plenty of information on here about the details if you search. There's things to watch out for and repairs/maintenance to budget for but there are plenty on here who have "high" mileage 458s (some over 100k miles). I would not say these are ever going to be collectible.

 

Anything over 10K miles is considered high, although as the 458 ages this perception may change

 

Alternative view, people who have driven 50,000 miles in a 458 realize they should never sell.

 

I think there can be issues with the transaxle but I don't have experience with that. expensive little bugger at 40K or so....

 

At 40k miles, you'll need to think about getting your pistons cleaned because the 458 is direct injection. I think at 40k miles, its a drivers car and you should worry less about future value. It's near the bottom of the depreciation curve I would think at that point, but I'm no expert. Remember, when buying any car, its the owner that you're "buying", not the car necessarily.

 

I’m at 50k miles now and pretty much daily my 2013 spider. Still love the car, I’ve had it 6 years, why sell it?

 

Im at 51k and at this point, Ive driven the depreciation out of it... no major issues ever, and would probably buy another before selling this one.

 

My old car is up for sale again. I can tell you I had no issues with this car when I owned it. I sold it some years back to a friend who also had no issues as well. He then sold it to the current owner. So it’s served us well.
