Hello all. I was wondering if I could get a random sampling from a number of different 300 model (Base/Touring/Limited/300C) owners advising if your models actually came with ashtrays mounted within the rear door storage areas?
Although the only units (which my dealership has left on his lot) all do, they are still actually unable to give me a definitive answer, but do claim that the Smoker's Group option only comprises a small black front dash astray insert and the cigarette lighter element unit itself. I confirmed this today by visiting their parts department simply to verify 'in person' that the Smoker's Group option only consists of these two measly items and nothing more...and it in fact only consists of the two small items in question. The rear passenger compartment ashtrays do have a replacement part number and are available for purchase.
Although I nor my passengers will ever be smoking in my car, on the other hand, I still want to make sure that maybe my rear ashtrays weren't just accidentally omitted during manufacture or maybe removed before I accepted the vehicle. Although my car didn't list as coming with the Smokers Group option (one which I didn't opt for), I must have evidently received it anyway, as I do have the small ashtray insert and the cigarette lighter unit. Please advise and thanks for your help.
