Understand completely I would be the same being a non-smoker

I had a car where the previous owner smoked, cleaned everything many time but the smell was just still there and I regretted the purchase.....

maybe I imagined it but I thought that there was a thing called a "bomb" or something like that, that you set off inside the car with all the doors etc closed and it neutralised the nicotine but I may have been dreaming |

probably worth having a word with a good car detailer/valet. My neighbour over the road used to do car cleaning and he had a deep clean mist/smoke that you left off in the car with the air cycle on and deep cleans all the vents etc. Not sure how much he used to charge but got's to be worth every penny to get rid of the smoke smell |

I would walk away. My Uncle is a trader / dealer and he just won't buy smoker cars, any relief from smell is temporary according to him. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Mine originally smelled of cigar smoke (bit more classy than cigarettes at least).

I bought an e46 that had a dash fire and the fire brigade had done a good job of flooding the car which then stood for months with a big hole in the screen, after repairing the car I decided to try and save the carpets and the leather seats which were both very light beige but stained black so I spoke to an autosmart dealer and he recommended biobrisk which I scrubbed in and vaxed out and it came up like new and smelt amazing and I would be shocked if it didn't get rid of stale cigs smell. Good luck with it |
