When I first saw this I thought someone had posted my DD e30 for sale. Same car, color, location, etc: https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/6017604554.html
Contacted the seller: barn find in Plymouth 4 years ago, runs, intended project car, broken odo gears at 89k, faded paint and some surface rust, and slow coolant leak around waterpump. I don't have the space to e30 hoard so someone else please go look at this before I do. Save me....
Go buy it. Storage units can't be that expensive down there
-
Thought about renting a unit when parts cars have come up, 10x15 runs about $110-130/month if I want to stay fairly close to home. I'm already paying storage for the open trailer though, and the basement still fits all the car parts for now. Have been considering adding a parking slab along side the house for more space, and in a bigger step down the slippery slope occasionally do real estate searches for houses with land, outbuildings, etc. We'll see what happens.

Would a 10x15 fit an e30?
I know brooke has her Miata stuffed into one with some room to spare..
Also those prices are insane for storage. Around here it's like $50/60 for a 10x15. Obviously I understand we live in different areas but dang

15ft would be cutting it really close on length.
It's $62 next to our shop for a 10x20.

It would be tight, the e30 is 14.6 feet.
Agreed about pricing but folks are willing to pay. $1200+ a year in storage fees rules out cheap purchases.
The storage chain stores (Public Storage, Storage Master, EZ Storage, etc) west and SW side of Milwaukee county and into Waukesha county are all high which pulls up the pricing on a lot of the smaller operators. Outdoor spaces are more reasonable. Trailer costs me $40 a month at a secure outdoor lot about 10 miles west of me.
GunMetalGrey where are you located?

Good deal. Share the know.
There used to be a cheap warehouse place near State Fair park several years ago but went under. Large building off Greenfield Ave taken over by a custom bike shop. I thought I had lost a car stored there once one winter season when I called in the spring and their phone number was disconnected. Got the car out and a bit later they were gone. Experience has made me cautious about stash spots.
Re car on trailer, true on paint. Costs extra though and has the downside of car shuffle once race season starts.
All that said I expect that if I really wanted the car rather than an impulse buy I'd make it work.

Worst M3 in the history of E92 M3s, i'm sure of it. And someone from 'boygan just bought it and is really really proud on m3post.
4 prior owners at 65k miles, stained trunk carpet, cracking driver seat leather, worn leather throughout, shift knob completely stripping of leather, intake manifold missing a bolt likely someone didn't know you don't need to remove those to take it off, plasti-dipped badge, goofy bmw insert in the steering wheel, certified Lemon on the autocheck report, sold at a Hyundai dealer in 'boygan that claims there was a crash in 2011 on the car, stupid painted control knob, painted roof because one of the non-original owners who was a monkey was upset that the car had a moonroof instead of the standard CF roof, and so on. How anyone could pay anywhere close to $27k for this car is beyond me.

The one and only time I can say plastidip is an improvement.
Well, anything over bronzit is an improvement.
