Do you guys think something like this would be good? I'm definitely not ignoring the advice to get a storage unit, I'm just looking for other viable options. This would be out of the sun, rain, wind, basically the elements and the front zips down to completely enclose the car.

What about an enclosed trailer, like one from Haulmark, you can drive your car in and out of it, lock it up
Then when you get your garage next year, you can sell the trailer for almost what you paid for it

Do they have pretty good resale value? Theyre pretty expensive.

that's what we have, works well, doesn't keep dirt and dust completely out in wind, but the shelter logic is a great unit. Put plastic down under the car first.
Of course we all want to keep our cars inside but that isnt always an option. As long as you keep it covered it should stay in nice shape.

If it is only going to be a year and you are going to use it, just get a good cover. Stop with the carports and trailers that are going to cost the guy 5 or 6 grand. Just take care of the paint and cover it.
