I bought a cover for my VW Jetta GLX a couple years ago, cost about $118.
Its a custom cover, meaning its cut especially for the car with "ears" for
the mirrors and so forth. I called recently to inquire about a cover for my
'94 Audi 90; cost would have been about $125.  

My Jetta cover is a "Technalon 2" cover, made with "Evolution 4" fabric by
Kimberly-Clark. Its breathable, soft on the inside, and very durable. I've
had it on in the rain and it dries out very quickly; no mildew. The
material is supposed to be "naturally" moisture resistant.  The cover came
with a bag too.

Anyway, I've been pleased with it, and I think its high enough quality for
long-term storage, too.

When I get some cash, I'll probably sprnig for the Audi cover.

Hope this helps.
