    I presume you still have access to the video?


    Do you think anybody else would conclude that it's been smoked in? (eg if Lookers simply deny it's been smoked in, can you establish that it has been other than what you can smell - perhaps cigarette burns etc?)
  • Yes I still have the video

    And I will intimately attend another Lookers to have an independent insidiously conclude the same

    Can’t see any other related smoking problems, burns etc
  • Predictive text distasteful. I’ve still got the video and will get someone else (independant) to conclude its been smoked in

    I thought the salesman meant smoked as in road racer .


    Salesman would never know if a user or passenger smoked in the car unless their was evidence like brown headlining .

    They may have used language like "owned by a none smoker". They will omit "who carried 4 passengers who smoked like chimneys"

    Check the wording in the video carefully

    If it's an approved vehicle then don't Lookers provide a 30 day exchange with it? I suggest you call them.
