Wackett Member 7 Member For: 14y 4m 19d Posted 05/10/10 07:31 AM Author Share Posted 05/10/10 07:31 AM Ordered my husband a 50th Anniversary XR6T - manual in Viper a couple of weeks back - delivery date is the 15th of October.At the time I ordered it they didn't tell me that the spare wheel was on of the idiotic space savers. I found out 10 days after I paid the deposit. I rang Ford immediately and requested the spare mag and they told me it was too late in the assembly to order it and to order it as a spare part AFTER the car was delivered. I was a little annoyed then, and and then they got back with the price!!!! If I ordered it with the car it was $250 (which s fair enough) but as a spare part - $1110.48 rim only! the tyre is another couple of hundred.I told the guy I was dealing with that the price was completely ridiculous and he told me he'd look into getting another 19inch -but not matching. Has anyone else had this problem and what can I do about it?Spoke with the dealer today - the best they can do is a 17inch alloy so we don't have the speed limited spare . . . . .Pick up 15th October - - does any one else have te XR6T 50t anniversay in Manual an Viper?

It'll probably give the traction/stability control a fit as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't rotate the tyres as most are directional nowadays and as stated above, the wheel will get scuffed and the tyre will go off.. The concept of a full sized spare is like a dash protector mat which is old school.. We only want them because that is what we are used to..And really, you can be angry and complain.. but surely you would have read the glossy pamphlet which clearly states that a matching spare alloy wheel is an option for all models...

After I did they reprinted the sales brosure becuse you cant have a 19inch spare in the ute, as it hangs down too low. I have allways get matching spare. On my first BA the 18' tyres were $700 each, so $250 for a tyre and wheel was worth it, even if it meant I only needed 3 tyres next time.Its a pitty if you missed out, but if they have started production might be too late??I think viper is one of the rarest colors of the 50th's Edited 05/10/10 01:20 PM by BCR01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canman01 Inactive Members 1 Member For: 17y 10m 13d Posted 11/10/10 02:09 AM Share Posted 11/10/10 02:09 AM I also had an issue with Ford for the 50th anniversary turbo ute. I have the original july brochure listing full sized alloy spare as one of three options on this car. When the dealer claimed I could not have it was ready to cancel my order. It took an email from ford to convince me that there is no full size option available for the 50th anniversary ute. The brochure was reprinted in august with two options - no full size spare. Anyhow taken delivery of Nitro ute - very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
