Would you buy a Smoker’s vehicle?

Post by Mike Nel »

Went to have a look at a 200 GX before I bought mine new.

It was the right color, 15k kms and the price was right. But it was a smoker’s vehicle. It stank.

The salesman still tried to convince me that you could get the smoke smell out. Raaaaiit

So. Would you buy a vehicle that stinks of smoke?

No I would not. Even if it eventually smelt of roses the memory would remain......

Ok, then drive it through a stinky bog, drown it, and replace it with a lovely offroad memory.

No.

You can never get that stink out.
Sadly don't own an offroader. It's too flat living on a small island.

Wat is die probleem? 'n Bargain is 'n bargain.

In elke tweede handse kar het iemand of gerook of gepoep of gesteek of snot aan die rathefboom en stuurwiel gesmeer. As die prys reg is, koop dit.

As an ex smoker - no. I smoked in my old 330D BMW and lost two clients because of the smell as well and we did lots to try remove the smell.
