Any idea what this sound is? New to me 2013

AC is off, sounds like it's coming from both sides of the engine. Sound is present at idle and low speed, it3s either gone at speed or too quiet to hear over the wind. Just bought it and I didn't notice the sound during or after the test drive. When I looked it up, I saw a post about the switch between direct injection and port injection causing chatter. But, no one posted any videos I could compare to. Is this a normal sound? To me, it sounds like the valves need adjustment

Looking for Haggling Advice

This 2014 GS350 AWD is currently on a dealer lot near me. It has 84k miles on it and 3 owners. Although, the last owner only had it for 3 months and 500 miles. I intend to ask them why that is. This one is listed for $23k after dealer fees, making it the highest priced one of this generation within 200 miles. I've taken one of these for a test drive before and loved how it felt. But, it was super high mileage, had a few notable issues, and was really expensive.

Given the price, I think I can haggle them down a lot. It has been on their lot since June, so the price is obviously too high for it to move. From what I can tell, it doesn't really have any options outside of the AWD package. I'll be looking very closely for any issues I could haggle with when I go to check it out.

I plan to finance for 36 months with a $5000 down payment and whatever I can get for my trade-in (likely not much as it has 300k miles). My main plan for haggling is to mention the competitor's prices and it having had 3 owners. Is there anything else I should mention, or any good general tips? I'm hoping to get it for $20k or less. I have a lot of experience working on vehicles. But, I've never bought one for myself
