I bet you were attracted by the lowish purchase price these were back in 2009, like me
Engine & gearbox are still Lambo and they were assembeled by disgruntled Italians, resisting the NEW Germanic AUDI way
Try doing the clutch change on one of these yourself
Engine out job IIRC + it would hit it's residual hard if you tried to service it your self and then attempt to sell it on without Official Lambo Service stamps in the book. Not worth it IMHO.

Fast Pork like 911 GT2, GT3 RS, non RS & Turbos are always a safer bet then any Italian Supercars
and you can enjoy them on & off Track, in equal measures.
I'm not saying Porsche are cheep to service, just not as expensive as Italian Super Cars and generally they are more reliable with much longer service intervals
I don't know much about LOTUS so I've not much to add on that front.
What's happened to the Red Shed ? She looked splendid last time I saw her
