I'm looking at buying this GLS and took a test drive and heard a grinding, almost clicking sound when slowing down and braking. The car has about 59,000 miles on it.
After driving the car for 10-15 minutes the sound went away. Have anyone had a similar thing happen? If so, what was the issue and fix/repair?
Would you buy it?
Thanks so much

Clicking is going to be suspension ball joint, tie rod ends, CV axle, sway bar links. It's the sound of a joint buckling under load/deload. Cars too new to really have these issues although the way I drive, I cook sway bar links every couple years. The repair is like $600. Grinding? Do you have pictures of the brake rotors so I can rule out warped rotors?
