take it to a professional shop to have the interior detaild. they should steam clean it all, and get the smell out

windows open for a while. while means a few days, when you park at least have ur windows down a little. first clean everything you see dirty. steam clean the carpets, spray the odor thing on the carpet(theres one that you only spray on the carpets, its an air freshner). make sure to have them carpets dry before you spray that on. have ur carpet out for the day under the sun to dry up. there are armoralls that smell good. use that all over the place. seats, if they are not leather, steam clean them too lightly. have ur windows and ac/fan on if you can. clean the ash area well, and then it should be good. if not, then sniff all over the palce like a dog and find which part of the car smells bad and re-clean that area.
this work can be done at a detail shop for probably about $60 or something. but its always better to do it urself, noone does a job better you want then you

After you get it clean you can use my personal trick to getting that new car smell back for a few days. Go to a toy store buy yourself an action figure, roll up your windows unwrap it and leave it in there over night the longer th better. It will smell like a new car sort of. the best results though are video game boxes and controllers.

I think a new XBox every time you want an air freshener is a little steep.

If you have EVERYTHING steam cleaned, and then maybe use some good freshners...It'd work well thumbsup

Did you buy from a dealer or private seller? If you bought from a dealer, they should have had it stink free before you drove it off the lot. Steam clean would work, as well as an air freshner from walmart. smile

Leave the back left seat down as well. there's a vent behind the left wheelwell so the car will air itself out more.
