sounds like it could be the coolant temperature sensor. If this is faulty it can cause similar problems to what you are experiencing, it may be sending a signal to the ecu that the engine is cold and therefore injecting more fuel than is needed hence the petrol smell when warm.
To be honest though there are plenty of cars out there so unless you are getting a bargain then personally I would walk away.....
