I thought it might be interesting to compare the current secondhand offer prices of the 458 and MP4-12C in a slightly more systematic way. Three pictures attached show:
First, the offer prices of all 458 coupes and MP4-12Cs mid October for sale on Pistonheads. Maybe a little hard to read. There are 58 458s and 20 MP4-12Cs in the chart
Second, the average offered price by mileage bands. There aren't any 12Cs above 7,500 miles so no data
Third, the average discount of a 12C vs a 458 of the same mileage
What I'm seeing is a ~5% discount for low mileage cars (under 1000 miles). There are then 14 12Cs offered at ~20% discount to the same mileage 458 in the 1000-2000 mile band, then the discount drops back to 5% for the 2-3k cars but this increases back to 15% discount for the higher mileage (5k+ cars) - but there are only three of these. Overall, on a like for like mileage basis, 12Cs are being offered at 10% under 458 prices.
Not very scientific, since it ignores a bunch of things like options, year of purchase, actual sale prices vs offered etc. But the market is clearly pretty bad just now for all high-end coupes. But You should probably expect a 12C to be 10% less valuable than a similar mileage 458. ;0(
