Can I get a spare wheel for my new Kia Rio?

My new Kia Rio has no full spare wheel. I would be unable to put the contraption left in the boot on if I get a puncture. Can I buy a spare wheel from a scrap yard and will it have to be a Kia Rio wheel?

Thanks

Should a dealer be asking me to pay an import's VRT?

I Am buying a car from a small dealer, he has brought it in from the UK. He wants me to pay with bank transfer or draft & wait for it to clear before letting me drive away in the car or getting the car registered or paying the VRT. Also he wants me to pay the VRT as he is not TAN registered? What are your thoughts?

For €5,000, what car would suit my wife, just learning to drive?

I want to buy the missus a car. She is just learning to drive and she'll need to ferry our one-year-old around too. I don't want to spend too much, about €5,000 maximum, no real preference for make or model, but I want something safe, easy to drive, with good visibility. Low tax a bonus. Any ideas?
