I have recently been thinking of clearing out the garage and keeping the car
in there over night. Apart from the security aspect are there benefits to
keeping the car in the garage.

So far I have had heard that its bad for the body work- if it's cold
outside and then the car is placed indoors then the heating up speeds up
rusting.

anyone got any view?

pHs - it's a 96 e230 that I have.

If you live in an area where they are using lots of salt in the winter,
parking your car in a heated garage, like an underground in an
apartment building, is deadly. I swear that you can hear the salt
munching away on the metal there.
An unheated garage is OK.

Again... the keyword is "heated" garage... majority of us do not have heated
garage... so no worry.

ha ha ..I see what you mean .. no .. its not a 'heated' garage .. just one
that is attached to the house and therefore warmer than a detached one.
