Woman sues dealership over dead corpse smell in her vehicle

NEW BALTIMORE, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit-area woman is suing an auto dealership, claiming her new SUV smells bad because it once contained a corpse.
The Detroit News and CBS Detroit reported Monday that Margarita Salais (suh-LAZE') sued Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights in Oakland County Circuit Court. The suit claims the dealership failed to disclose that the car had been stolen three times and once held a body.
The lawsuit says Suburban Ford told Salais that the bad smell in the 2006 Ford Expedition came from a dead animal. A letter in her suit says a hazardous materials company determined it was a human odor.
Dealership general sales manager Jim Elder says the smell wasn't there when Salais bought the car and that the dealership "would love to get to the bottom of it."

LOL @ "Jim Elder says the smell wasn't there when Salais bought the car and that the dealership"
unless she bought it, then found it out, killed someone and let them stink it up.............. i highly doubt that the smell was NOT there when it was in their possession and decided to come out when she bought it to piss her off..
