New Car Smell

OldGuy · 01-24-2010, 04:04 PM

I can only guess that the absence of "new car smell" in mine is due to it having been on the showroom floor, with the windows open, for a month or so before sale. Since it had no significant miles on it (70miles) and was built only about 3 months before purchase, does anyone have any other theories to explain the absence of that delicious, intoxicating fragrance? I think I should have gotten a couple of hundred bucks more off the price!

Purchased her new w/~25 Miles on 6 Jan, definitely still have "the smell" - of course she's spent most of the time buttoned up in the carport or back at the dealer having the "after market stuff" installed -- is it Spring yet?

Mine had that smell util the detailer that I use, ("Burbank Auto Detail", does a GREAT JOB!) "ScotchGuarded" my interior, I immediately noticed that it was gone because I don"t particularly like that smell... I guess I'm too spoiled by the Japanese Car fragrance that I was pleasanty surprised that Nissan sells. Its the Blue one that comes with the scented fragrance dispenser inside. Its called a "CS-X3", love the Blue one, been using those for a LONGGGGGG time! They smell nice and "fresh", not overwhelming like scents.
