I can tell you it IS a fantastic car. My R is fully optioned so it has Nav, the HU-850 stereo, etc... and I couldn't be happier with it. The seats are the best this side of a Viggen/9000 Aero, the AWD grip is impressive, the brakes are the best I have used this side of a 911, and the stereo is the best factory system I've heard.
2004 was the first year of the R so there were some teething problems but the cars are generally reliable. All Rs are prone to angle gear failures and many of us have an "axle ping/click" which is easily remedied. I think your car has the same 4 year/50K miles my car has and if this is the case, go for it (you can always buy an Extended Warranty)!
BTW, what is the exterior/interior color combo? Sport Package? Auto/Manual?
An excellent source (and much better than Brickboard, IMHO) is Swedespeed.
Good luck!
Derek
P.S. Did I mention we are a 2 "R" family? My wife has a 2006 V70R with 6 speed :-)
