Default JH Cruze 1.8 Knock

Have picked up a cheap 2014 auto Cruze with 105K, contrary to most advice offered.

Terrible knock from it, haven’t had a chance to put in the air yet.

Is there any specific element to look at, or is it just run-of-the-mill diagnosis?

Engine knock, suspension knock?

How cheap is cheap CB… Risky investment?? Might strike it lucky and find an old Bintang bogan who’ll buy it for his Mrs and park it in the garage next to his VZ SV6 with HRT seat covers and fake HSV body kit.
