1200 miles and has Carbon seats for only 215k.

Is 400 miles really worth 115k?

Glue sniffers.

1200 miles and three owners! Maybe none of them had passed their driving test.

I don't believe anyone in the UK who says "never driven in the wet"

I wasn't aware that 458s had a propensity to dissolve in the wet. Disturbing.

If you don’t drive it in the wet, how do you get rid of the salt you picked up underneath from driving in the snow?

Not that crazy at all considering there is a niche collector market for new or as close to new versions of 458's, F12's, etc..

It is a niche but it's definitely there and at times for the right car meeting those requirements price can be (almost) no issue.

If this was being sold by Ferrari and not that dealer I would not doubt it could well sell for close to asking price.

Last naturally aspirated V8, last Pininfarina designed V8 supercar, considered modern classic and one of the best cars Ferrari made, 800 miles and sold as close to new...
