And they hold you until a compliant judge issues the warrant. Or they bring in the K 9 and he “ alerts” on your vehicle ( easy to get with a well trained dog a subtle hand signal). Pretty much a no win situation.
But if you agree to a search you lose any chance of your lawyer getting anything found in it excluded from evidence against you. Keep in mind, in at least one state it is a felony to have a hidden compartment in your car. Sure, you will have a chance to spend your life savings proving your innocence and that it was done by the previous owner, but its easier to just have your lawyer quash it early.
Time I've got.

I have never consented to a search of my vehicle....ever. I have been asked several times in traffic stops over the years in various states, and I respond in the negative. The cop will suggest that they can get a warrant, and I respond with, "fine...get one". I've got nothing on me, no prior convictions for anything but a history of a lead foot.
