Want to buy a new toy, but won't have space at home for a few months. CL and local searches turn up *ridiculously* expensive options (admittedly, I've not rented garage space in >10 years, so I am not attuned to current market value). Anybody have leads on GRM-priced parking (must be indoors and Delaware Valley area).

The further out of the city the cheaper you will get.
What time frame do you have in mind? Once my boat goes in the water I have plenty of space for an extra car in my storage garage here.

Ready to buy now and would need to store right now, and would hope to have space at home by spring....so, a perfect mismatch lol
If it can make its way to just north of Baltimore, I can toss it in my climate controlled warehouse

Oh wow, Steve, thank you. I stated Philly area so I could "exercise" the car (just "garage" it and not so much "store" it), but your kind offer is a great back up plan. Let's see if anyone else in the hive has any ideas....
In reply to Skobie :
Gotcha, was not sure if you just needed storage for awhile, if it ends up that way, just let me know.

I have a small garage in south philly. and by small it fits a 90 civic hatch great! But its just too small for anything modern american. I could rent it out for a couple months to help the cause if you think it will fit. It's about 175" inches deep 80" wide

Bummer! Just a few inches too small. Thank you, though, junkc4! (Ironically, it is a C4 Corvette.)

OP here - still looking in regular venues...and still shocked at the posted monthly rental fee. Are these just "asking prices", or do they just let them sit until they get a renter at the asking price?
car vault main line in berwyn has monthly rates in a climate controlled indoor storage facility with high security.
