Pass and move onto one without the risk of it smelling like an ashtray.

 

Everyone says how many of these cars are out there and I dont see that many

Look on Porsche's website too. Used car locator.

 

Thank You...I looked on there website only 8 cars within 500 miles...dont really want an East Coast car and pay for transfer, especially when you cannot see it in person.

 

wouldnt touch it

 

C4S991 you say you would not touch it because of price or the smoker that drove it before?

 

a combination of both... it think its a litttle rich, even if perfect. secondly, you will never get rid of the smell. you may get used to it, but anyone that gets in the car will smell it. its a shame that someone would funk up a car like that... i guess when it was theirs, they didnt care. plus it could have been a lease and the guy had no intention of keeping it... which then makes me wonder about the overall treatment of the car. no matter what or why it just tells me, caveat emptor.

while under my care, my car hasnt been driven in the rain, or eaten in... im weird like that tho.

good luck man, you are on the right track.

 

Thank You...it sucks because they are local and the car is optioned like I want.
It is a ***** finding the exact right car but if you are spending this kind of money, I need patience.

 

Stop acting like a love struck school boy and keep searching! You're killing me!


"4. Don’t Fall in Love The first thing a car salesman asks when you walk onto the lot is, “Do you want to take a test drive?” That’s because once you fall in love with the heated seats and surround-sound audio system, he can play to your emotional attachment to the car instead of the facts and figures of the deal. “The worst thing you can do is become emotionally attached to a deal because then it feels very hard to walk away,” says Miller. “If you’re not willing to walk away from a deal, you really can’t negotiate effectively.”

That car is not going to be flying off the lot. Tell them to have it fully detailed and get the smoke out with shampoo, not some fragrance to mask it, and let them know that only if they can remove the cigar smell are you interested in it. They're going to have to do it anyways, just get them going down that path on it. A good, top of the line detailer can get it cleaned. Their lot boy probably can't.

 

its tough remaining unattached. you will be happier in the long term.

i bet that car smells like spilled f*&^.

also keep in mind that you can have a car shipped to you from pretty much anywhere for between 750 and 1500... or you can always fly to where the car is and get to know it on the drive back!

 

this is great and accurate advice. the problem is a porsche has a smell. they all smell alike and have for a million years. just like a mercedes, jaguar, bmw... once that smell has been overshadowed, im not sure you can ever get it back. every seem, crack, hole smells like smoke. the air vents, the headliner, the carpets. everything. it will never smell like it did when new. move on, find another and go get it. or start smoking cigars.

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice

 

contact an a company called AIRTRONA they will remove all odors we do all of our used cars with this procedure and its not expensive

 

Buy a new one.
