Anyway, I will get a bottom bracket wrench to tighten it up and see if the noise vanish. Otherwise I will open it and inspect.

Not sure how the price of those other bikes relate. You say it's seven years old in poor condition with problems. Bicycle Bluebook seems to indicate a fair market value of no more than CAD300. My point is that you might want to consider returning it before other problems arise.
