Default S281 will not start HELP!

So today after work I was accelerating onto the 405 freeway when I heard a grinding noise coming from the engine. I made it home but now when I try to start the car it will just make the same grinding noise and will not turn over, anyone ran into a problem like this before? Im baffled and I dont really know what to do. Im also out of warranty as I bought the car "as is" from the dealership 2 days ago ): the car is a s281SC

Op, I'm afraid you are about to learn about the difference between cast and forged. It's expensive. ^^^ Or that...LOL

Check your muffler bearings, they tend to rattle. If you can get about a 1/2 cup of steam into each muffler, that should be enough to clear out the gunk and things will run smoothly!

Its not coming from the muffler though, its coming from the engine. There isnt any gunk in the muffler, I checked that for cloggs.

hahaha, you shouldn't have been in a rush to buy a "Used", "exotic," and "exclusive" car. Should have checked the car out first to make sure everything was good.
