Does this apply to all 997's as well?

Has anybody reached out to Elite lately? I emailed and called multiple times, but no reply.

Yeah, same with me. They aren't answering emails or calls. Hopefully they haven't loaded everything up in sea-containers and made for Africa.

At least with PCO you know they'll still be in business and you'll be able to get your car back...

But at $2K a season put a lift in if you can.

I'd be interested to hear with what you guys end up going with. Looking for storage for my 997.2

I think I'm renting a unheated garage from someone in my neighbourhood that she doesn't' use. Price is reasonable. It's close to my house so I can check on my car.

My BIL and I rented a 2 car garage from a friend of a friend for the winter. We were told the garage would be off limits to anyone but us.
When we went to pick up the cars there were snow shovels and kids toys everywhere. The BIL almost lost it.

If going non-heated just rent a sea container, then you will be the only one with access. Plus you can pack more stuff in it if you like. I have one in Milton for our pop up trailer and it's only $115 per month all in with 24hr secure access.

Elite worked out well for me, picked up my 997 a month or so ago. Used them for 4 months. Would likely go back. There is no other option like them that I know of.

We need garage condos like in the US and in BC, AB.

$225/month + HST. Negotiated referral rate and perhaps because it was off season. Started storage in April.
