Where can i find a good cover that fits well but isn't going to break the bank?

just got the 240 repainted and i want to try to keep it looking fresh.

Probably depends on your definition of 'break the bank'.

Pretty goods about everywhere for around $100. I had a good one off ebay, Wolf brand I believe, they have multiple levels of covers, from under $100 to over $200.

average prices I've seen are around $150. Not sure what you're upper limit is, but I think that price is pretty fair. I've seen the cheap ones tear up a car's paint and not stay on if a decent gust rolls through.

If you want to keep it looking fresh, wash and wax the car after the paint has cured. Repeat that process to maintain freshness. It's still going to accumulate dust and other crap with a cover on it.

i was thinking under $100. but if thats not possible that ok too.

i wash it on a regular basis and keep wax on it. i was just trying to protect it from the sun and the bird crap.

Ahhh, if you are parking completely uncovered that is understandable. I would honestly just avoid covering your car unless you've just washed it... You're going to put scratches in that shiny new paint otherwise.

Wash/wax/detail regularly and get yourself some covered parking. :P
