(November 23, 2011) Worried about your car's miles at trade-in time? Perhaps you should be more worried about that smoke smell that permeates the interior, says UK online remarketing specialist Autorola. Autorola says the potential fall in the value of a car can be steep if it has been smoked in.
From its experience of selling vehicles online in 17 European countries, Autorola estimates a car driven by an active smoker can reduce used values by between £250-£500 ($400 to $800) depending on the make and model.
