I used to sell Volkswagens. This crayon smell is actually common in many German automobiles because the manufacturers fill the doors with wax to help prevent corrosion.
- joyeuse6701 13y agoMmm old Saabs used to have the crayon smell when the glue under the carpets eventually deteriorated. I used to leave a box of crayons in the back to explain it to people. Was quite funny.

They changed the process in 2003ish, so more recent Saabs don't have the crayon odor. My wife has a 2002 9-3 SE has no crayon smell, but she used to have a 1999 Viggen with the crayon smell. I love it.
