Spare Wheel?

[turbohater]

Bought a new Fiesta 1.0l non turbo a month ago and at the time i am sure the salesman said "it has a spare wheel".Today i looked and found it has the goo sealer kit.Looked it up on Etis and they say it has a steel spare,Has the dealer sold or swapped it ? or is the Etis list not always correct & would it be worth taking it up with the dealer.Thanks.

The dealers swap them around all the time. Bought a Fiesta a few months ago which had the goo sealer kit and said I'd really like a proper spare. The salesman was quite open that he'd look around the other cars on the forecourt and see what he could swap it with. No expense to them then as the issue then simply transfers to another unsold car. The irony is that my car obviously did have a proper spare previously as all the markings from it are present on the underside of the boot carpet, so it was obvously swapped out before I got it for exactly the same reason for someone else.

Salesman never did live up to the promise of sourcing a spare despite nagging him, so he'd probably run out of swap options and would have had to provide one at a cost to himself. I also pointed out that the goo kit had passed it's expiry date. He swapped it (from another car as well probably!), but the 'new' one only had about 3 months left on it. Ended up getting a spare myself off eBay.
