Question About to get Pre-owned 2014 GS250

Hi to all GS bud!

I went to the second hand dealership yesterday and about to get a white GS250,

As the sales man have mentioned to me that the car has just arrived to their yard and yet to bring to land transport for inspection before it were allow to be on the road.

My question is, when i start up the car and it had unusual noise coming from the hood.

I opened it up and it was too loud for 25k mileage car?

Could it be compressor fan motor ?

need your advise before getting a GS

Thanks!

They're not refined motors. There's a high pressure fuel pump that is quite noisy, suggest you youtube an example

Loud ticking perhaps? If so, that's usual for the GS, fuel pump associated with a direct injection engine.

If I recall correctly, that's just from the direct injection which is normal but correct me if I'm wrong guys.
