Finally got a replacement

[Sonea Fifer]

Hi there

Some of you may remember my thread where a deer killed my MK6 Escort?

Well I've finally got car to replace it on Thur - It's a 1.8SL Golf, nothing too fancy but its tidy enough and should hopefully be reliable enough for my 20odd mile commute to my new job on Mon. Here's a few pics:

It came with a years MOT and six months tax - perhaps I'm being a fussy sod but the only fault i've got with it so far was the previous owner was a smoker - three air freshners and i can still smell stale cigarettes

I'll give it a good valet and clay next weekend weather permitting

That does look very tidy for a P plate nice find! Nice little upgrade.

Very nice indeed. My friend has a P reg Golf and it's the most dependable thing he's ever owned, well played! Nightmare about the smell of fags though, it'll never shift

Wouldnt have bought a smokers car, that will always stink.

With a good gut out, you should get rid of most of the smell.

Nice purchase too.

that looks in great condition, a good clean will help towards the smell, but it will go in time

thats in very tidy nick for a MK3

I think you can get these stink bomb things you let off in the car with the AC/Blowers running and all the windows shut. They are meant to get rid of smells etc...

looks like a nice tidy example, don't listen to the folk who don't know what they're talking about with car smells - a good hydro misting removes all odours completely

Looks very tidy How much?

Looks very tidy How much?

Just under a grand - years MOT - 6 months tax and full service history

Start smoking, then you'll never notice the smell.

Good purchase, looks pretty clean.

Nice buy. Love Golfs myself and that looks immaculate.

You could try Neutrol air freshner / fabric cleaner on the seats / roof as thats where the nasty niffs will be.

not bad

much better then an escort

Start smoking, then you'll never notice the smell.

Cheers for the advice but thats not really an option

Took me long enough to quit the first time and i probably couldn't afford to start back up again at the price they are now

should be unkillable. whats the mileage and cost?

post up your miles per tank and ill tell you whether its healthy

Wouldnt have bought a smokers car, that will always stink.

Agreed. I'll never ever buy a smokers car.

Nowt wrong with a smokers car, I had no problem selling mine. I've got no problem buying one.
if you're that fussed baking soda the hell out of it, cover the seats in plastic for a week so it's drivable. Then hoover.
All smell will be gone.
