Don't let it slip through your hands, because of a few $$$.
Sure you know that DRs are not available new in SA anymore.
They are still manufactured, so spares are easily available from the agents, but its so reliable, you'll hardly visit the agents. Hi-flo oil filters and other service items are freely available as aftermarket items.
I know you can't compare, but I ride with guys with 690s with my DR. At that price its good value for money in comparison to a new 690. 690s also break down regularly.
The DR's suspension is not that great, but should be fine for your wife's weight.
Your wife seems te be reasonably tall, so the DR's standard height looks to be fine for her. Both front and rear suspension can be changed to the low setting.
Go for it! Late model, low km DRs are hen's teeth!
By doing a few cheap modifications, you'll bring the engines alive!
Plenty info on that here on WD from Matie Spearo, Kykdaar and myself!
Having your wife smile like that and loving the DR, is priceless!
