Tire tools
I just purchased a 2007 vert and just noticed that there is no tire tools with the exception of an extension bar. I know there is no spare but wonder if I’m missing something? Also I am missing the cigarette lighter and am assuming they still came equipped with one? Any ideas where I might find one?

There were no tools to change or remove the tires. And as for lighter most any car that has a lighter will work. Bet you can get one at any Auto zone or the like. ..... from their help section.

Thanks for that. I wish I would have taken a picture of the piece I am referring to as an extension (it’s says that on a sticker attached to it), it was just laying in the trunk in the passenger compartment. Also wasn’t sure about a restriction on the length of the lighter.

You did not say if you have opened the small, rectangle panel right above the shifter location. that is the ash tray, and has a lighter. If it is missing, go to ebay, and search this number: 313429720816

Thanks all.
I have AAA hoping I don’t need it👌.
I’m thinking last owner left it there.
Yes looked in the compartment for the missing lighter and will keep an eye on eBay.
Cant wait to enjoy my beautiful wheels!
Again thanks to all who responded.

The car originally came with runflats. What your came with (as used) is anybody's guess.

Best bet is a motorcycle plug kit (folds small) and a 12V air pump.
A jack, lug nut socket and ratchet/ breaker bar maybe futile and unnecessary if a plug can't fix your flat.
Here AAA wins
PS Using the cigar ligher socket under the AC dash module for a tire pump will blow fuses.
Use the socket in the center console, under the center arm rest.
