grantdavis28 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hi Guys, I am moving to Denmark in August for two years to study (had enough of working!) haha. I need to find somewhere to store my beloved 240z, Has to be fully enclosed storage for around 2 years. could potentially move it after one year though. What are my options? anyone had to do this sort of horrible thing before? I have been looking on trademe and I could possibly buy a 20ft container, Then I just have to find somewhere to put a container? Anyone used any good car storage places that dont cost the earth? Or anyone have a farm house that I could possibly pay you a rental fee? Just looking for options.. Cheers! heres a pic because Im sad my car has to be locked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Don't container it, unless you line it, or the container will sweat and rust your car to buggery!!! The you store places are $50 a week for a garage I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 If you get really pressed and don't mind driving it down south, I could tuck it in the back of my shed for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 There is a compliance centre on porana road on the shore. Right down the back where BOC is. Don't remember the name. They do storage also, huge inside warehouse. My boss and I used to store our cars there. Was $50 a week at the time but I'm sure you could cut a sweet deal for 2 years and they could stash it right down the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'd be super paranoid about using a random storage place. Make sure it's insured to buggery whatever you do and that the insurance is aware of the scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLIZZO Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I would imagine if you wanted cheaper secure storage that it would be far more economical to bring it too a cheaper town where storage is cheaper. Something like wanganui etc that still has good secured alamed storage places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrik Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 that place that Chris is talking about is Coventry LTD. His name is Paul, he's got heaps of awesome shit in there, old Datsun GTR's, American classic and muscles etc. Give us a min and i'll walk outside and get you the number etc for him.

I will give them a call and discuss! Thank you! I'd be super paranoid about using a random storage place. Make sure it's insured to buggery whatever you do and that the insurance is aware of the scenario. Yea Im very nervous about what todo, I am going to phone the insurance company today and discuss my options with them. If you get really pressed and don't mind driving it down south, I could tuck it in the back of my shed for you. Wow, that is an incredible offer! Could be an excuse for an epic trip south for those last memories before I have to pack it away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We could probably fit you into our shed at Matangi (near hamilton). We could shoehorn it in the corner where Yowzer's crown used to live. $17 per week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3K Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Throw it in storage and chuck a third party fire and theft policy on it. Man to those dudes offering him a spot in a time of need, good fullas. Chur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 My Storage King unit is $3488 for a year. It's quite a lot bigger than a car but not quite big enough for two cars. Weirdly, it was cheaper than the next size down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea these are the sorts of prices I have come across.. thats 7k by the time I get back, its going to hurt my account bad while im studying. But it is a fuck tone better option than selling!

BLIZZO Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Maybe try some museums / private collections and see if they want a sweet old unmolested Datsun in the mix? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
