Your budget limits you to older models, around 2010-2012. One to look at is the Suzuki SX4; others are the Kia Sportage and Mitsubishi ASX.
Carbon build-up is not an uncommon complaint with Mitsubishi engines; it's the EGR valve that gets gummed up by the re-circulated exhaust gases. There is no reason for the dealer to have your car for that amount of time, and there's no excuse for not telling you what's going on. If you can't get a reasonable explanation and outlook for getting back from the dealer/Mitsubishi consider going to the NSW consumer affairs department to get some action happening.
You need to try and determine where it's coming from. If it's a tinny sort of buzz it could be just a resonance of a part that's perhaps a little loose, and nothing to worry about, but if it's a more solid mechanical noise and appears to come from within the engine itself then it's perhaps best to get it checked out by a mechanic.
