New Crosstar's bad smell

[Teatime]

Thanks - I went to a different dealership to check their new cars' smell (as suggested above) and they offered me a trade in of the Crosstar for a new Jazz, which I'm very happy with. A drastic but effective solution. Thanks again for all the helpful comments and suggestions.

Glad to hear you found a solution and that you are happy with the new car! This sounds like a dealership to keep.

I'm a bit puzzled about the trade-in and your forum signature:
Is the trade-in a "normal" Jazz or is it again a (better smelling) Crosstar?

Thanks - too right about the dealership, it's a keeper! I went for a plain new Jazz second time around, although the smell was nothing to do with the model. It was like a really curdled new car smell, to do with how it was kept pre sale I would guess. Someone with a less sensitive sense of smell wouldn't notice it, I'm sure. All's well that ends well...
