The car was perfectly fine when purchasing it one month before for 7,000$. All of a sudden a severe, embarrassing noise started coming from the front end. Multiple mechanics could not identify the cause of the noise. It took two months before the entire front end was replaced spending thousands on parts. The culprits were ball joints causing the noise, along with struts, strut mounts, tie-rod ends, inner tie-rods.
