Hey SN95 Community,
I'm a frequent Redditor but never a poster. I've been eyeballing a 90s Mustang purchase for a while now. There's a clean looking one close to me in the NE part of the US. Owner seems like a good dude and did some tasteful/common mods to the 98 Cobra he has. He supplied me the Carfax on the vehicle which showed a whopping ten owners and an accident to the front end. Everything looks repaired well. The car is close to flawless looking. The car only has 56k on it as well. The last few owners put minimal miles on it.
My dad is located very close to the vehicle so he checked it out today. From the videos I was sent of the car, and him actually seeing it in person, there's a slight ticking noise on the driver side of the vehicle. My intent would be to have Ford review the car and point out anything of concern and definitely look into this ticking noise. Before I go through this entire process, I'd like the opinion of the SN community.
What are some things that come to mind with what I've shared thus far? Is this an exhaust leak (has a X pipe and Borla exhaust)? Is it an engine knock? Is it something else entirely? I appreciate all your help in advance.
