Moving to NYC...is it worth keeping my car?
#11
Indoor car parking is way more than $175 in Manhattan - it costs me $200 for single a motorcycle spot (which is on the cheap side).
Don't bring your S to Manhattan - it's a waste. The roads/traffic are horrible. If you're in one of the outter boroughs it might be worth it, but have never lived there and cannot comment.
Edit - I would never ever park on the street either - you'll find new dents and marks on your car everyday (depends on neighborhood, but its inevitable)

Where are you guys finding indoor parking spots for 125-175? I've been looking on and off but haven't seen much.
Back in the day I rented my retired neighbors garage for 75 a month. 75!!!!! He then rented it out to some other guy for 150 and let him park his car and motorcycle there.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys! Maybe I'll just store my car here in CA and fly back out to visit and for track days!

live in LIC and you can find more than enough street parking. Ive been street parking for about a year now and haven't had any problems. Theres a black CR in my area who parks outside all the time too.

I lived in Manhattan for 3 years and just recently moved out to Long Island. I lived on west 162nd and Amsterdam. I parked my S on the street everyday. No boddy messed with the car. There was acouple S2k's around the area up there.

i would be garaging it in the 5 boros if i lived inside the subway zone. if i was living in Manhatten, i would probably not have a car. Just get a rental or zipcar as the need arises.
