video of the engine running:

thoughts? im not well versed at 'oh this engine sounds baaaad' sounds

Is this car drivable? Did they at least rev the engine to hear if that rattle gets worse - or turns into a knock?

You don't want to spend money on something with an engine on its last leg. Unless they are giving it away, I would pass on that one.

Could be the normal direct injection “rattle” the turbo model has. Hard to tell from the video.

It’s also turbo charged (TC) not supercharged (SC) like in your title. Probably just a type-o, but just making sure you know.
