'04 Arc test drive - something was amiss

I sure could use the help of you Saabophiles. I test drove a beautiful black '04 9-3 Arc (5 sp, 112K miles) today. Whenever I would get the car to the redline on the tach where the turbo would kick in, the car would shudder and hesitate. It did it at all speeds whenever the turbo kicked in. I know FWD turbolag, and that wasn't the issue. Is this potentially a serious issue or something easy to fix.
One other thing - kind of funny. Got in, couldn't find R to start the car, figured it out and pulled the whole wooden console up with the gear shifter. Then the emblem on the shifter flew off the first time I shifted. Is this thing haunted or are these the kinds of things that happen at 112K miles?
