Here's my 2 cents.
1. It's normal to see some scratches under the front clip, but it shouldn't be loose or able to pull out. Sometimes people snag these on parking blocks and rip out the plastic pins when they back out-I've done it.
2. If there are no leaks and all the mechanicals work well, I'd try to find out about the maintenance that has been done, good spark plugs make a big difference.
3. Check how the rubber is wearing, should be even.
4. Above 2K rpm boost should come on somewhat quickly and stay constant, if it initially boosts really strong without your foot all the way down, the previous owner(or dealer shag boys) were probably flogging it. Once you drive it a while, it will adapt to your style and drive a bit smoother.
5. Enjoy with both hands on the wheel. If this is your first turbo car, you are in for a real treat, the stats on this car don't do it justice.
