One for the.detailers.i imagine every surface would.need to be deep cleaned including the headliner. How one would clean the ventilation system/ aircon is another factor
I read somewhere of someone's woe at trying to clean a smokers car and whatever they tried it just wouldn't go. The smoke gets everywhere, into the fabric, into the headlining, carpets, sound deadening under the carpets, seat cushions. If you are a non smoker even after a deep clean you will still notice it even if the smell has been massively reduced by a thorough clean.For the person that went to view the car and smelled the smoke there is a good chance that if they have prepped the car properly for sale then it may have already had a decent interior clean to try and reduce the smoke smell so if it still there.

Some of us were bankrupted and divorced a wife because of that.
This car sits in an odd place, price wise... Better Panamera for more, or flakier but way cooler Quattroporte for much less. Both of those options look more appealing than the Aston to me.
Since this now seems to be a marital thread, my 2 cents. There is a middle ground; I’m not married and let my girlfriend drive my cars. Great middle ground, I highly recommend it! She also used to sell Nissan GTRs and then AMGs so knows how to drive. Quite a good look being picked up from a night in the pub by a nice blonde driving an Integrale Evo.This car sits in an odd place, price wise...

Friend just bought one, with 23 in the PH classifieds it's quite exclusive.
It's the 760 on UK roads that counts towards exclusivity, not the 23 in the classifieds.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
