Descent 02-17-2009, 10:34 PM My '8 doesn't have a spare. Is that a 40th Anniversary thing? No, it was an option on all models, I believe. Misnomer 02-18-2009, 08:53 PM No, it was an option on all models, I believe.Huh. The dealership never presented it as an option, just "the car doesn't have a spare." Makes me wonder what else I could/should have gotten! ;) pdxhak 02-18-2009, 09:18 PM If you really want the spare tire kit then watch the for sale section. I think they usually go for $150. kersh4w 02-18-2009, 09:45 PM or buy the spare at the dealership. for $250. |
