Last November I bought my daughter an immaculate '02 Beetle with very low miles. I traced the owner history back to the mid-west. It was owned by an affluent "lady" who apparently only drove it to and from the golf course in the country club community she lives in. It still had that new car smell; but it was very similar to "CRAYONS". Daughter and all her friends thought it was cool that her new car smelled like crayons.
Well, now it's nearing the end of summer and that new car smell has gotten almost to the point of being unbearable. My wife walked past the car when my daughter came home from school the other day and she detected the "heavy aroma" of body spray emitting from the Beetle. (She immediately assumed our daughter was attempting to conceal something; cigarettes or worse!) Daughter claimed the "crayon" smell was getting too strong and she was only trying to mask it.
Last week I went by the school and switched cars with my daughter so I could get the annual inspection and oil changed on my day off. The crayon smell irritated my nostrils and eyes after driving it for less than 30 minutes.
Anyone else have similar experiences with a "crayon" smell?
