Hi Adam
I hate reading stories like this. They may as well have told you the sound was coming from your automatic transmission! Regardless, I’m glad to hear the motor has been rebuilt. Do you know if they just did a re-ring and bearing job? I would imagine so but at least that's better than a ticky engine.

Buying a performance car that has bold tyres can tell you a lot about how it's been treated. Anyone who actually loved their car and cared about its maintenance would not drive it around with tyres like that.

Personally I would get as many things under warranty fixed as you can. If your still not 100% confident in the car then sell it and get yourself another one (or an 03 GT) that is in better starting condition mechanically. These cars are great when they are working but are very expensive to fix for a young owner.

Best of luck

Colville
