My 2002 V-6 with 51K miles is pretty noisy in the morning after start-up. It doesn't seem to quiet down until it's up to temperature. Even at that, sometimes it ticks (lifter?). I would drive it and it may get better with time. I haven't heard of any major issues with the V-6 except for the cam belt, tensioner, and idler pulley, all which can cause catastrophic engine damage (valves into pistons). One of those 60K interval maintenance items.
