Was that R8 a gen 2 that your wife's colleague bought? I have had both gen 1 and gen 2 (equally modded with tunes and exhausts) and they were/are very reliable. The engine itself is normally aspirated, very high rev'ing and notoriously strong. I have not heard much about electrical issues in gen 1's let alone gen 2's. I think that was a unique case but I do like to always buy brand new vs CPO.
