First time owner, car has smell

Hi

Just picked up a very low kms boxster, 2004 model

first time porsche owner

one day in and I feel like the car has fumes or a smell during driving and when parked in garage

what am I smelling? everything else seems perfectly fine

car was from a dealership with all the service and certificates, everything checked out

are the fumes / smell dangerous?

and can I make it go away?

thanks!

What does it smell like, I had an alternator go bad and it was overcharging my battery and I got a strange smell. But that was with my 911sc, I would expect you to get a CEL if it was something really important,

would be helpful to know if you smell them inside the car, outside the car, or both...

of course, it's possible you accidently backed over the neighbors cat and it's stuck in the wheel well...if that's what happened you'll know soon enough, i expect.
