Mileage becomes less relevant with the age of the car.
Then its desirability which comes into play as the car reaches classic status.
I would say the cut off is probably the 430, 355 and 360 mileage is less relevant.
Then look at the money a low mileage 308 / 328 or testarossa commands now over a higher mileage car, of course condition also counts.
Try selling a 30k mile 458 unless seriously cheap.

Mileage is irrelevant in terms of what that would mean to the car, after all we're talking about mere tens of thousands of miles, in fact as remarked if it's got some "normal" mileage on it then I'd say it's more likely to have been maintained more strictly according to the service intervals, as opposed to potentially having been left for several months and/or had services missed because in the owner's eyes "it hasn't done enough miles yet".
That said, as sone said, mileage is absolutely relevant when it comes to resale value. If you take a "high" mileage car to a dealer they're going to bid you in the balls. This becomes less relevant if you got in at a commensurately low price, though.
