1) Check the papers, AP & chassis no to see if its really 2002.

2) Check the visible fluids, oil, coolant, brake oil, power steering oil

3) Check rear booth, door frame if there are any knocks, cracks, rust, weld

4) Jack up the car to inspect undercarriage, oil leakage, rust, missing bolts, torn bushes, bends, cracks etc.

5) Fire her up to check for VTC rattle

6) Take her for a spin, hear for noises, clutch, brakes, wheel bearings, suspension

The gauge on the A pillar is a boost gauge.

Good luck.
