The dealer will only tell you good things. They are afterall trying to sell a car and make some money.

If you are not one who has faith in inspecting the vehicle themselves, then the dealer should allow you to take it to a mechanic for you to have it inspected for possible mechanical issues and previous accidents.
Do not depend on CarFax!

Not many things go wrong with these cars, unless they are driven hard.
Real hard, and not maintained.

Maintenace records are a bonus!

As for a visual inspection yourself, check the front wheel wells for bits of rubber stuck to it. Indicator of hard launches.
In reference to PSI, the ECU(Computer) controls the boost(13-15psi), unless mods have been done that bypass the ECU.

Enjoy the car. Keep your license. Drive carefully.
