This is a Friday joke right? Who in their right mind would pay $4350
Canadian for a spare tire carrier!?!?!?! I only paid $650 more for my mint
1980 Westy. Do you see from your pricing that you're effectively charging
$420 US for the vinyl cover?

Vanagon Rear Spare Tire Carrier Complete with all of the above listed parts:
$4350 CAD $3000 USD
As above less the spare tire cover (251 867 077 4FB) $3750 CAD $2580 USD

It would be cheaper if you got a flat to have the spare air lifted to you by
helicopter, several times over.... You added an extra zero by accident
right? A turnkey 105hp 1.8L Digifant II engine swap is cheaper
