Civinfo - View Single Post - Dealers The great parking sensor rip-off

Just a heads-up to anyone buying a new Civic, who wants the (essential) parking sensors.

The list price of the Honda parking sensor system (all nice and colour coded) is £425. Some enterprising dealers just can't help charging you for these, but fitting some aftermarket ones like these:

CKO4ADVBL 4 Sensor 12V Car, Van & Motorhome Flush Fit Parking & Reversing Sensors
Vision UK - Rear View Systems, Cameras, Parking Sensors, CCTV & more!

It is worth clarifying that you are going to get the proper Honda ones, and if you find you have had some £35 specials fitted instead, it would certainly be worth going for a full refund.
