Hear the sound in the very beginning after turning the key (chugging sound)? I'm considering buying the car. The seller send me this startup video with some revving. I should be looking at the car in a couple of days.

Kinda sounds like the clicks when you try to start a car that is already started. He could of been fumbling around since he was recording. I have to say, i could not turn the audio up too loud since I am at work, but its not really a quality audio/video clip. Could be the fuel pump priming too? I will try to re-listen when I get home. I would also ask for a video with the hood popped and rev the motor if possible. You really want to hear it when its a "cold" start.
