Looking at first purchase

Hi all.
I have been looking at a 2003 coupe with 27k on it. Overall looks good but when I looked inside it had an extremely strong musty/dirt smell to it. I was really surprised at how strong and first thought it was from being in water. Now not to sure. Any thoughts on what it could be?
Many thanks in advance for any advice,
Mike

Your first answer is the right one.

Run, don't walk!

Sometimes the air vents smell musty but they don't smell like dirt.

Yes, sounds like it was either in water or water is leaking in somewhere. Either is not good!

Lots of Vettes to choose from now...don't be in a hurry & enjoy the hunt!
