Default car covers

I'm looking for a good outdoor car cover. I've found many online, but wanted some practicle advice.
On ebay i've found car covers for a my model year Porsche from $25, whereas on true car cover sites the prices are between $150-$250.

On ebay i found a cover from an english company called Cover-Zone. The cover is being sold for $80. On their website it's $150. Is anyone familiar with this brand.

All recomendations are welcome.

If I was going to keep my car outside under a cover...I would buy the best that money could buy.
That being said....I use a fitted Coverking on my car all the time, and it sleeps in a garage.

I'll second the vote for cover king. I walked into the factory one day and got the royal treatment from them. I went back a couple days later and picked up my fuzzy yellow indoor cover that I only use when the car is spotless cause the cover is too nice. You can get it direct from them or at Performance.

I saw a real deal Porsche cover on Cragslist for $40. After using several types I find this one is best. You also might try ebay. I will buy another Porsche cover if I can find it at a similar price.

I have had excellent results with the Porsche silver all weather cover, used them for many years.

Inside, cotton w/flannel underneath.
Outside, Evolution 3 or Noah material seems to do the best.

The only cover I use, is one of the "fitted" extremely light weight types. It is only used on the car, in the garage, to keep dust off of it. After the car is used, I clean the car, before placing the cover back on it.
