Yes, that's archetypical engine knock. It won't be running for long and will trash its crankshaft in the process. An engine rebuild is worth more than the car. Do not buy it, it's scrap.

 

have you tried turning it off then back on again?

 

Why would turning it off then back on work?

 

it works on my phone and computer sometimes

 

lol good one

 

It does sound like rod knock, and as said above the engine is toast. Rod knock is almost always caused by either lack of lubrication or dirt. Either one of those problems would have caused damage throughout the engine, so you won't get a quick fix by replacing some bearings.

It was probably run out of oil by an owner that didn't ever check the oil level through the dash and there was some minor issue causing oil loss.
