I found, [on a Saab dealer's web site], a spare listed for the 95. It evidently has a Saab part number.
It was $350, reduced to $325. !!!!! It is a donut, with jack, cover etc.
When I looked at the Cadillac CTS, I thought it was robbery to charge $119 for a donut spare. Shouldn't this be standard equipment on such an expensive car?
I realize I sound like some old cheapskate, but this seems to be the way of the world now. My old employer, Delta, now whacks you to check a bag.
It still seems like a slap in the face to people who would be or are getting ready to write a big check for a Saab 95.
BMW has lost a lot of sales because they went to run flats and deleted the spare. A can of gunk in the trunk will not hack it if you are down in South Alabama or out there a couple of hundred miles from Rapid City.
