I'd take the 22k you have been offered, as CJ says although laying a car up for 2 years will keep the mileage low, it probably won't appreciate in value enough to cover your storage costs.

Storing it does seem expensive but i guess you also get full peace of mind.
I have an empty double garage and would happily let you rent half for a lot less than £150 a month but i dare say any arrangement with someone you dont know or trust would be quite hard to figure out.
Willing to try though, if its of any interest drop me a PM.

Appreciate the offer but I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that selling is the best option.
If anyone needs me I'll be crying in the corner

If the Z4M Coupe is still available I would be interested, sounds like a good spec from your signature!

Hi Mike
My decision to sell lasted about 3 days. I've decided to keep it, viewing a couple storage options this weekend.
Blue Thunder will rise again!

If anyone is interested, I've visited and agreed to store the car in this place:
http://www.jordanscarstorage.com/
The chap who runs it is a gent. Brilliant facility, very secure, and I actually think it's good value considering I'm in the more expensive end of the country. £140pm.
I would say my car will be in bottom 20% in terms of value, some serious cars in there. Mostly London or international people who own multiple luxury/super cars and need to swap around depending on their needs. He will get it MOTd annually and/or start and exercise the car as I wish.
This a heart overruling head situation.
