Wow, there are really ISF owners who only own 1 vehicle??? If I only had 1 car, the ISF wouldn't be the smartest choice (although am OUTSTANDING car for many reasons).
Also, if you check the service history, you'll know whether the miles are true or not. If it had been serviced at 80k, you Kno the 45k miles that it says it has on it isn't true. That's one of the many reasons why cars with good service history sell for more than ones without. No one minds paying for peace of mind.

it was just getting intense with vitveet and koylan and then it stopped 
jk jk
my ISF is my only car and its driven 7 days a week
To OP
I got my 2011 45k miles for 34.5k 13 months ago. it was posted for 40k and I haggled the heck outta that, I even walked out and got into my truck and started backing up before the sales man came back and said we had a deal. Just because its posted for $XXX doesn't mean youll be paying $XXX, only thing about CarMax is the "no haggle" policy but I have a friend that works at CarMax (sales) and he said even sometimes they'll budge on price pending on how long its been sitting and market.
be patient with, it took me over a year to find the right one, kept searching and don't settle. you'll eventually run into the right one

The notion of the daily driver is interesting and I think there are some different ways to think about this.
There is no question that an F CAN be a daily driver, assuming a good set of snow tires for the winters.
Interestingly, F owners have a strong bond with their cars, stronger I would say than most high end cars, in part, I believe, because the F is a solid partner very unlikely to let you down, require a lot of attention or ask for much (I guess I just described the perfect significant other as well
.
Anyways, because of these things, I think people treat their Fs with a bit more respect than many other cars where at some point you get tired of dealing with repairs maintenance etc and just say F it. (Kind of kind of like a significant other)
So, perhaps it's that respect that keeps people from DDing the F, even though one easily could.

Daily driver. For years now. Why buy a car to look at it? They're a whole lot more fun to drive IMHO.
My Supra was a daily driver for many years as well. It has 156k miles on it, and still drives the way it did new.
