OK here is my dilemma. Recently a Carnelian Red XKR came up on the Autotrader site form Momentum Jaguar in Houston. Cars for Sale: 2013 Jaguar XK R Convertible in Houston, TX 77074: Convertible Details - 369813014 - AutoTrader.com

I've made an inquiry and just had a call from the sales guy this afternoon. I had a lengthy discussion and when asked if it was a non-smoker car here came the bad news. He said their was a hint of cigarette smoke in the car but it has not been addressed by his interior detail-er but the smell is there. I assume we all know that this smell is extremely difficult to get out and I mentioned it to him. We also discussed him getting his interior guy to do his clean process . I ran into this problem last year when we looked at an Audi A4 for my kid and we turned the deal down because of the smell and it was also cleaned up. I would expect to smell leather in a 3000 mile car so I don't want the smell masked but cleaners. So my question is , is there anyone in Houston that has nothing to do but take a ride over and look at this car and let me know how bad it smells. I asked the sales guy to let me know when they "clean" up the smell but before I fly from NY to Houston I would like to make sure it is leather I smell and not a perfume mask. If anyone is interesting at looking please drop me a PM. Thanks.
