Looking for Spare Tire (Doughnut) - 97 Boxster

To the OP: Woody in Bastrop TX has a bunch of them for sale that he's salvaged from cars.

The problem is that the rubber is very old and brittle and it's dangerous to use.

The cost of a new one from Porsche is rather high. As I recall, they want $400 or something outrageous like that for it.

I will be driving through Texas on my trip.... just want something to get off the highway should I get a flat. Can you give me more info on Woody from Bastrop TX?

Much thanx!../mc

If you are driving through the Syracuse NY area I have one. If you are interested I'll check to make sure it still holds air.

Thank you Tommy583 -
