2019 GT slight musty interior smell

[Gregory347]

Hello. Picked up my 2019 GT on Saturday and it has a slight musty odor in the interior. Doesn't have that new car smell. There was another GT on the lot that I also took a test drive in and it had the same smell. Both cars have been on the lot for about 7 months. Anyone out there experience this? My plan is to air it out an use air freshner as needed.

Mine sometimes gets a musty smell if it's been hot and humid. I just open the windows overnight and it airs out.

Could be a/c drain tube is backed up, could be a/c evaporator going bad, could be mold in the a/c vents or a dirty cabin filter.

Probably just from sitting. You can always try one of these.

Could be a leaky car - check the floor for damp as there have been a few cars with bulkhead seal problems and leaky rear windows.

Now that the car has been used for the past few weeks the smell is gone. Had some heavy rain also and no signs of water.
