So I drove the R today. Nice. But not as smooth as my 960, and I found that odd. It is something of a selling point for me, as I would be using this car as a 1000miler roundtrip car a few times per year.

Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't find anything that required repair or replacement (other than really noisy Nokian tires) but there was something a bit "rough" about the car. I can't nail it down - handled great, no klunks or knocks or noises. Perhaps it is just the way these cars handle; the only way to tell would be to drive another.

The owner had rather impeccable records and is the original owner, so a big plus there. I think he just wants something newer. For me, a 2004 would be "new." :-)
