Default Re: Climate Controlled Winter Storage - Worth it?

Thanks for all the tips guys!

I drove from Chicago on NYE which was 55 degrees and pouring rain so that took care of any salt that was on the road when I drove it.

The heated warehouse that I found actually has a wash bay where you can wash your car whenever you like. I was thinking I'd drive it there (15 min drive) and then spend an hour or two washing it so that any salt underneath the car is gone. Also, it wasn't very hot in there so maybe "climate controlled" just meant not freezing.

I planned on going to start the car and drive it around the warehouse (sounds stupid but at least it's moving) just to keep it fresh and the tires from getting flat spots. Apart from that, I was going to do Stabil and a fuel tank of premium.

Since it's a professional establishment, should I still take precautions against mice and such?

I'll get some pictures for you guys this weekend when it's all washed and at its new home! I still can't believe the deal. 2007 Limited with only 4,500 miles on it. One owner. Infinity Sound System. Only $15,500. Still can't believe I got my dream car... I'm only 22 but I absolutely adored this car when it came out. Now that I graduated from college (MSU!), I knew I had to have one and made it happen.
