Don't look for a spare tire or jack. These $45 - 60K automobiles don't come with either one. And since you don't have a spare tire, you don't need the handy threaded wheel guide pin that 986s have in their tool kit (because you'll never have to change a tire in Porsche's estimation). Or a dipstick to check the oil.

BTW...
If anyone has an extra guide pin, I'd be delighted to purchase it from you. Wrestling with an 18 or 19 inch wheel is a ******************** w/o the pin.

Good luck with your purchase, jbk.
