There are two items I would look for,

1) Quality of the Transmission Fluid. Make sure it is not a dark brown with a burned smell. If so get the seller to flush the transmission with new fluid.

2) Have the Engine inspected for air in the oil. The Engine Oil pick-up Tube can have a deteriorated O-Ring, which causes the Engine Oil pump to suck air. This intern causes hydraulic lifters to chatter. Removing the engine oil cap while the engine is running can inspect for this problem. Dropping the engine oil pan and installing new o-rings can repair this problem.

Good Luck,

Steven---
