300TD Car Cover Recommendations

I just purchased an absolutely gorgeous 300TD and want it to stay that way. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding what car cover to buy and where to get it? I'm looking for something that is a good balance between quality and economy. Thanks

Andrew

I think I am going to go with a mid size SUV cover from Pep Boys, or similar. I tried one online and it didn't fit the wagon at all. Using it on the 240.
That is what I plan to do......

Don't know your budget, try http://groitsgarage.com or http://WeatherTech.com or http://covercraft.com Price will depend if inside storage, or outside. Sounds like you have an investment to protect.

I saw some at Costco last weekend. They seemed pretty good from what I could tell. They were only $30-40.00. They also had sheepskin seat covers for about $30.00, I believe.

I have 4 covercrafts and they are very good. The Costco ones will not fit the wagon. The 300 series I bought from cover craft is 15 ears old and in great shape.

Are your's used outdoors, or strictly inside garage?
