In my experience if somebody is beating on a car it shows in other areas as well (cigarrette burns, stains, dents/dings/scratches, scarred wheels, etc.) let alone it usually won't feel as tight as a non-bagged-on version. I think I'm like the car whisperer, though. I always can hear weird sounds or find weird marks on a car that most people wouldn't notice.
