Hello app,

Not sure if we have too many Croatian members, but welcome nonetheless!

Understand that you're looking at a nearly 10 year old car. Imperfections will be rampant. I'll let some more mechanically inclined people here comment on engine clicking, but if it makes you uneasy I'd pass.

I would have to say it might be the hidraulic valve lifters , mine has the same issue , except i don`t want to hear it , and just keep on driving.
You could change the oil , but i think nothing much will happen ...
Anyhow nothing bad will happen to the motor because the valve lifters make that noise.It`s almost normal (heard it on tonnes of cars)
