Hey guys I spotted this car for sale and was thinking about making an offer he has vids of the car but can anyone tell me what the noise is that is coming from the bay he said it has always made that noise and everything is fine which I'm sure maybe the case but WTF hell is it.... its right at the start of the video once you get to the side of the car you can't hear it anymore

Sounds like a possible pulley bearing. Perhaps water pump or ps or timing belt tension/idler pulley. For testing listen with screwdriver against object and other end against ear.

I listened to it 4 times and didn't hear anything unusual. Assuming it has cams, that makes it sound really lopey at idle.

I'm sure you could make a better diagnosis of the sound if you were actually standing over the engine bay. Because I'm sure that video was shot with a terrible piece of technology, like an iPhone. Haha.

And lime green deducts about 4 grand from a car, that thing is fugly... I wouldn't look at it unless it were 4-5k or less. Because it will take another 3-4 grand to go back to another decent color the right way.
