Default Lambo Quality

I've pretty much decided that I want a Gallardo, but I have to admit that I'm worried about the quality due to the Audi factor. I think Audi makes nice looking and well performing cars (R8, TT) but they don't have the best track record for reliability. Before I bought my 350Z, I was considering a TT, but every forum that I looked in had people saying how much they loved their cars- when they weren't in the shop!

I'm not sure how much of those reliability issues will affect that of the Lamborghini side of things. I've been researching Lambo forums and it does seem that the clutch issue is pretty well known on the Gallardo. If I get one, it will be basically a daily driver, but divided between 1 or 2 other high end sports cars- and favored for sure. So, obviously, maintainence is key, but how much more is there on a Lambo? I used to sell Honda's, and they are known for their quality and longivity- how much difference will there really be?

Being new to the "Supercar" experience, what kind of things should I know about and look for when it comes to the differences between Lambos and say, "middle" grade sports cars such as the Z?

And one more thing: Why are there so many used Gallardos for sale? I know many Lamborghini owners keep the miles low and sell them early on, but is the low mileage the only reason? It's just a little scary to see so many for sale- it makes you wonder.

I guess I'm just looking for a little confidence in the product. Looks and performance-wise, a hands-down winner! Any honest and helpful advice will be truly appreciated. Thanks.
