Guys, anybody?

The car I am talking about is 911-997 carrera s, 2006, with 3824ccm engine.

After checking I found out this car:

- has metalic knocking when engine is running, especially when it gets temperature, when it is cold-started the knocking is not heard, or almost not heard
- shocks need to be replaced, brake pads, brake rotors need to be replaced
- there are leaks from engine and cooling system

What can be the reason of the metalic knocking? Should I run away from this car?
What are the mechanical mtce costs of such car? Is this smth I need to get original from Porsche, or can I get xrefs?
