Default Moral question on sale of my A4...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/37413/wheel3.jpg"></center><p>So, I've sold my A4 to a guy over on the east coast. He's bought it sight unseen and it'll be picked up by the trucking company tomorrow morning.

I am selling it with the 17" wheels on it since I sold the stock rims already.

I have a 17" matching Enkei CDR-9 full sized spare that I bought because the car had NO spare when I got it.

Should I feel obligated to "include" the spare with the car, or should I hold on to the spare and try to make some cash by selling it.

The issuse of the spare tire was never mentioned or discussed with the buyer of my car.

I would assume that he'd expect a donought spare. So he'll either be 1) very pleased to get a full sized spare, or 2) kind of ticked to get no spare. (in the same way I was when I bought the car with no spare)

What should I do?

Default Because we love our cars Tray.... I'd give it to him...

We want him to have the same level of respect for the 4-Rings that we had. :-)

Default definitely give it to him... cuz you don't even have a doughnut spare to give him, right?

not giving him a spare at all is, imo, unacceptable. plus the amount of extra cash you could make from selling ONE rim is very little (there's little demand for just one rim of that model), and i'm sure he's expecting a spare tire. just b/c it wasn't discussed doesn't mean it shouldn't be there. i'm sure you also didn't discuss the fuel flap or rear passenger side door, but he's gotta assume it's there. do the right thing, man. =)
