Full size spare comes with same factory wheel?

[STARCOMMTREY1]

Want to talk non American and Service? One of my former stepmothers has a service package with her Mercedes where They store her hard top and swap it off and on on request. She has never paid directly for service or even an oil change. They do it all for life.

Btw when she got a flat, (which is why I thought of this) they sent a loaner convertible to her, with a driver for it accompanied by a flatbed. They flatbed towed her care to the dealership and delivered her car to her work address the day after the service was done on it.

I do not want to know how much that level of service cost, but wow it is service.

True, but nothing I could do or would not want to do myself

Just purchased the Lexus in May this year with a Maintenance Agreement. The closest Lexus Dealer is in Clearwater FL, about 85 miles straight south from my place. They told us they will be sending a loaner car to us and drive our car back and forth when it's time to change the oil and any scheduled maintenance. CRAZY!!

Yes well I used to do all my own service. Now I have a wheelchair that retails for 2 base Mavericks.

Plus, I am sure neither of us are the target audience for that service. This is for the LoL who have too much money and no kids worth a (redacted) to take care of them and live within walking distance of schule.

It is awfully funny to me that it is a German dealership, the reversal is fitting since most of these ladies parents or family members got tattooed for all the wrong reasons.

Still, great service

Ok, back to the spare for a moment. Is the standard non full size spare one of those donut jobs?

On the xlt it is but not the XL which seemed very strange to me so maybe I misread it.

It is a dooughnut on the xl and xlt unless your package upgrades it or you select it as an option

Thanks guys. I ordered an XLT without the full size spare. The donut has always been sufficient for me with past vehicles.

It’s standard with the lux package that’s where I misread it.

The only car I’ve ever owned that the wheel on the spare matched the rest was a 88 Suzuki samurai since it was mounted on the tailgate. Man I wish I had never sold that thing. The novelty of that vehicle is awesome. I also wish you could buy a current Suzuki jimny in the USA. They would sell like hot cakes here. But the regulatory costs prevent it. Shame.

I am sure you will, but everyone needs reminding occasionally to check your spare especially if it is one of those 50-75 mile donuts. I have tried to help more people with dry rotted donuts over the years than I want to count.

They forget about them as they are not in rotation

I think the full size spare was only $100 so I bet it’s the ugly steelie. Get what you pay for.

$115.00.
And I like the Sparkle Silver steelies that will be coming on my XL

Doesn’t the hybrid come standard with a full sized spare?

I don’t think so. I selected it as an option.
