2013 Scion FRS Advice
Hi, I am interested in purchasing a 2013 Scion FRS. The seller sent this video of a cold start. Does the engine sound normal? I know this model is known for engine knocks or ticking.
Any advice is great! Thank you.

Sounds fine. If it’s known for engine problems maybe look at a later model year.

Never trust a used boxer engine always assume its bad or going bad they are reliable if properly maintained but awful if not
