The car has a significant cigarette smoke odor. I contacted Jeff and he told me to buy Ozium and dryer sheets. The Oder is so bad I cant drive the car more than a few minutes without getting a headache and coughing.
The "oil change" indicator was either not reset, or the oil was never changed prior to my purchasing the car. The filter looks new so I assumed it was changed and reset the indicator.
While not indicated on the Carfax, I believe the car was involved in an accident that was unreported. The hood alignment is off and the front fender paint doesn't match the doors as well as it should, in my opinion.
The car was sitting on the showroom so I didn't really check the car as closely as I would have had it been in the lot. The car wasn't detailed at all. It was very dirty inside. My test drive was short enough that I didn't think much about the smoke smell, I assumed Jeff might be a smoker so the odor wasn't in the car but perhaps on his clothing.
Overall I am disappointed with the car and I plan to cancel the extended warranty I purchased and see if I can sell it to Carmax without loosing too much money. I don't think I could sell it to a discriminating private buyer.
