You just need to damage one wheel and it will pay for itself.
I almost didn't get it even though I had it on my BMW and wound up using it after I ran over rebar that shredded my new run flats on one side. But the sport is an SUV and besides the car has cameras and am a pretty good driver, in fact I valet parked in North Jersey in the 90s. Besides this car wont see any hazards.. wrong, and wrong. Went off-roading twice already! Then.....
last month I was street parking and was admittedly a bit frustrated by lack of any spots. Its was raining and I didn't have an umbrela so I didn't feel like going to pay public parking. I put on the park assist but it wasn't selecting any spots and I was pretty sure next to me on the left could fit even if it would be tight. Well man vs machine! I turned on curb view to park. At same time am watching the tight squeeze and grrrrrrrrh WTH was that? Its your wheel dummy. Gouged! I step out look and ahem! Ego dented, but for consolation I was perfectly in the middle with barely a couple inches to spare. Didn't matter car behind me was at the end and one in front had huge space in-front so if they left before I did my car wouldn't get scratched.
Lesson learned. Maybe machine is still superior to an expert valet! That insurance over 4yrs.... you'll likely use it unless you get rid of the car after only a short while. Take that into consideration.
