Suzuki splash

On a 13 plate £3995 34k miles dealer price.

Only had a cursory glance but first thing I noticed was no spare. There is supposed at least to be a spacesaver.

Going for a test drive tomorrow. Promised a new MOT if bought.

Any thoughts?

    A compressor and gunk is common these days.

    Insist on at least a spacesaver as part of the deal. Gunk and a compressor are fine for small punctures, but hit a kerb and damage the wall of the tyre and you're walking home.


    Not having a spare wheel of whatever kind is an absolute deal-breaker for me.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.

    Not many new cars have spares these days we have 2 seats and i tried very hard to get spares with them when bought but dealers ( 2 different ones) both said no, we did get great deals on both cars.


    having said that seat provide free roadside assistance as long as you service car with them each year.


    my son got a puncture in his, too big for the gunk, he called Seat assistance, AA came out put a spare on took him to tyre fitters, got a new tyre.


    from calling them to being back on the road was about 45 minutes, sure it wont always be like that but i was impressed

    If there's space for one buy a full size spare.
