Something smells in '04

Looked at a very low miles '04 and the car is clean except for a funky smell. Dealer says it is from detailing/carpet cleaning &tc... but I'm skeptical about anything a dealer says. If anybody has any experience on troubleshooting odors, feedback would be appreciated.

Does it smell when you first get in it or does it smell while you're driving? It could be the cabin air filter if you smell it when the car is running.

If it is a dill pickle, vinegar, wet towel smell check the cabin air filter. ;)

Musty could be air conditioner backed up and moldy. Dealers have a foam cleaner for this.
Pull up the rear cargo compartment cover, check under the foam for water.

Anything else and it needs to be checked out very carefully. Carfax couldnt hurt.
