Talking with my dad about storage units in his area. $200/month for a 10x20. Am I crazy to feel that’s just insane to store a car? Or just one of those “it is what it is” type of things? In 10 years time the storage cost would be the cost of the car.
How much is a storage unit by you?

12 x 20. $150/ month
In Missouri?
I rent a big 2 stall garage for $600 a year. ($25/stall/month)
It's probably at least 30x30 with easy room for 2 cars and parts storage. It is insulated as well. Electric lights and a few outlets. Electric is included in the rent but I don't abuse that. May be plug in a battery charger for a couple days but that's about it.

Yeah in MO
I assume it’s not a traditional storage unit but a former shop type of thing?
3 of them were built to store files and records for a business in town. So much is stored online now they had a unit that was empty. I knew the owners.
Great find
I didn't know you had a b-body, nice.
That's a dang good deal.
I did "comps" last year for my shop/storage facility.
12x20 is hard to find. It allows you to open one door, though.
I have 10 of those.
I also have no provision against working on your car(s), like almost all of the other places do.
10x20 in this area is averaging $300/month.
Mine are going up to $85.
I have three 20x20 for $100.
20x22 are going up to $115.
Needless to say, I have a waiting list.

A new one for me. Just a month or so ago. I had to let my 66 Dart go. No room for 3. (as you can see)I didn't know you had a b-body, nice.
Waiting list. I bet you do.
...and I now have 60% "car guy" customers.
That's the market I started targeting right after I bought the place.
LOL 10x25 here is $400/month
Brutal
That's about the going rate in Missouri, especially where I live.
I’m paying 168 for a 10x20 non climate controlled. If I wanted climate controlled, it’d be double that here
I once had a 64 426 "440" model. I love the styling on those girls.
Oh my.
I currently have a 64 “440” model with a 318

I was paying 120.00 monthly for a 10x20 unit. Had two of them filled with car and parts after moving before building my shop. Now putting that money to better use.
My son and I frequently spoke about how these units generate cash for owners. Metal building, no utilities, filling a need for customers with 200+ units at this one sight alone.

That’s exactly what I pad for my 10 x 20 for 3 years, but that ended in August of ‘22 when we bought our new place, so assuming prices have gone up since then ……That’s not a bad price.
10x20 with electricity (lights and outlet) - 60 per month
