:huh: I was shopping at a dealership this past weekend and test-drove a 2003 pre-owned Prius. That Prius had a distinct smell of llamas or livestock...something very gamey. I then went to a completely different dealership and test-drove another 2003 Prius. I was amazed to find out that the faint smell of llamas persisted, but wasn't as strong as the first car's smell. Am I imagining things? What could be causing this car smell? My best guess is the batteries or a smelly ventilation system that hasn't been cleaned. *shrug* Thanks. --juggler
This has to be one of the most unusual posts I have seen here... A first generation prius that smells like llamas... thats special...
LOL Hmmmm sounds like someones been vent sniffing again.. LMAO! :lol: No really, maybe the privious owners were Lama herders or were such water conservationists that they didn't bathe until they started to smell gamey... or they had a lama fetish and got the lama car air freshener.. :lol:
Yeah, I wish I were making it up. Unfortunately, friends I was with smelled the gamey smell as well. It was both funny and unnerving at the same time.
My mom and I both have also smelled something similar in a 2005 Prius. I also started to wonder if it's the battery mechanism or something...? Guess we'll never know. I think you have to have a pretty sensitive nose to pick it up, and the smell is not always there. Let the rest of them BAAA away. I don't think you're crazy at all!
