What to look for in a sportivo.... First thing to look at would have to be the gearbox. Take it for a test drive, try and change gears while in lift, if it goes in smooth, your all good, if it crunches, then it either needs a clutch replacement or the synchro's on the gear are farked. Check the engine bay, make sure its neat as the sportivo's tend to keep a tidy engine bay. Also check the CV's on both sides and make sure the CV boot isnt split or ripped, make sure theres no grease around that area either. The middle dash has a lil pocket where you pull back to put things into, make sure that isnt broken or loose or youll end up replacing it later down the track. If the driver is young, the thing has been thrashed because this whole VVTLi thing is a big influence to speed and go into lift every gear. If it has any mods, it has also been thrashed. Especially if it has a cold air intake. Also check the interior to make sure everything is cool and tidy. Thats pretty much it from what i know. Goodluck in making your purchase.
