Question spare tire help

I just purchased a 2005 e500 for my girlfriend and have noticed it is missing its complete spare tire. I'm wondering if anyone would know where I can purchase one at a fair price.

Thanks

Russell

Do not make the same mistake I did...open up the trunk, lift yo the mat and then lift up the frame that looks like it should hold the spare but actually the spare is below it.

When I thought I did not have a spare I went to my trusty gagarge in NJ and they found one at a junk yard for me for 150. When I went to put it in the trunk I discovered the real one was already there...dumb on my part but my garage took it back...any need a trusty garage in central NJ let me know.

Sure, who do you use? I have always used my dealer but found a guy in Oldwick who I may try next time with the E classes.
