QUESTION:

I'm in Southern California. I need to store my car for 6 months...does anyone know of a cheap (indoor or outdoor) storage company. The cheapest I've found yet is in Costa Mesa for about $100/month

ANSWER:

A trustworthy friend who could drive it once a week for you, and keep all the seals and brakes and such from drying out/ rusting solid? Cars do not store well, even in balmy CA. If it sits outdoors for six months, expect brake and fuel system problems. Any indoor storage place that preservation packs the thing for you is going to be over $100 per month. Do a Google on 'long-term vehicle storage' for any of the past threads on all the steps to take before you leave. The various rec.auto groups, especially if there are any local to south CA, would be the best bet for finding a cheap hole-in-the-wall storage company.
