Bluetooth Wireless Cold Weather Pkg

all told a 08 with all the bells and whistles comes to (with 6800mls)
43860 or 43395 without sensors - retail
40160 or 39695 without sensors - private party

KBB is giving a value of 465 at retail and private party.

What doesn't jive is they only cost 350 USD, so I think they are pricing them as front and rear sensors vs just rear.

for me they add value in function, safety, and at resale
You are right. I stand corrected. They do list it as parking sensors. Well, to each their own. My view is that I wouldn't pay for it either on a new car or consider it as a value add if I were buying a car used. In fact, if it was always on and couldn't be disabled I would not even consider buying the car. But that is me. If others find it useful and desirable then I suppose that is their choice.
