The main thing to watch out for with 240's is rust, they were made from cheap metal and most are is rough shape.
Why does everyone expect a production line 155HP vehicle to keep up with a Ferrari? The base model '93 hatchback that I had for about 4 years provided plenty of fun at the autocross, & would hit 60 in under 8 seconds. It had 275,000 miles on it at time of sale last year, with the original clutch, suspension, & engine. It had NO rust whatsoever.
Geezer Editorial - Take a light rear wheel drive car, drop a turbo in it, & give to a "first time driver" 17 year old. Instant disaster.

+1 to what Ron said for first time driver......My first car I started driving at 16 was a 1985 Subaru Brat with a "well-worn-in" clutch. Nothing is cheap with this car. Maybe you should think about a backup daily driver car if you really want this car.
