No, I don't believe so in order to accommodate for head room. The doors on that car are dangerous!
garage door shut and LOCKED!
Other garage complete with Racedeck floor and paintings. Surprisingly empty at the time of this picture.
Oh, there they are.

In the interest of saving money, there are many things you can complete yourself and reduce the overall cost of the garage. The one thing that you do not want to put off for later is the floor. A dirt floor is like parking your car in the mud. Moisture will come up and start doing the nasty on your undercarrage. Do as much as you can yourself and use the savings for a lift. Ed

Thanks all. I appreciate the tips, prices and the garages to aspire to.
I'm keeping the lift in mind.
Yes, I will need to get permits.
I live in the city and am worried that I'll tick off the neighbors if I build a monster garage.

Wow, those are some pretty garage pics. I didn't know garages cost that much. I'm facing having to paint a house, do a kitchen and bath, so never even thought past that yet.
As far as permitting, my mom needed a permit for a potting shed, which I guess is just a small shed to do plant stuff in? No clue. Anyway, she had trouble getting the permit (and there is no homeowner's association, this is just in the city) so she had to get an attorney. The attorney cost so much she had no money to build the shed, but she did finally get the permit.

You need a permit to install a hot water heater in my hometown. The cost is $65.

I have a real estate developer/car collector buddy that spend about half a mil last year to build a 9,000 sf garage to house his collection. The floor is stamped and stained concrete that looks like wood. The exterior is stone. Quite a spread. As far as the cars, a Bentley GT convertible, an '09 AM Vantage, but mostly vintage Hemi muscle. He just sold a rare GTO on ebay for well over a hundred grand...

were are you
socratic were do you live in the great white north?
in canada the concrete will run a little more than the $1000 for a typical 20x24. you can get a garage package from windsor plywood, totem lumber, home depot, rona and any of the lumber yards in your area, they will also get you a quote to set it up. and im sure you can get for less than 21000....
we have erected the package in 1 day, with main door in, shingles on day 2.

Doesn't anyone pour a footer below the frost line and build a proper foundation for a garage anymore?

If there's a permit, then it will be done per code. Code is below frost line. So I assume so. The thing to do - when you have the money available, is to get quotes from 3-4 sources. Pre-fab will be cheapest generally and go up quickest. There should be a "steel" building company selling kits as well as other commercial companies with pre-fab kits.

at bare minimum, sheetrock and paint your interior and add lots of lighting.
and don't forget the german flag stripe around the whole thing...

It's now 12 years old with no signs of needing major upkeep.

This
They sell them at home depot or lowes, or you can sometimes find them on Craigslist for almost nothing

I actually just installed a steel 12x21 carport just for my boxster for the winter! Price isn't too bad and the structure is top notch ($700-$1500).
One day, I'll have my 2 car garage + dual post lift....

Frostline? What is that? Never heard of it... Maybe when it gets really cold, like in the 40's..

recently did a three car metal shed. 34 x 21 for $3500. It currently has gravel floor but quotes are in for concrete- $2500.
Still thinking this thru, we are thinking about moving south. So that is a lot for short term...

where are you?
i just built a 24x26 stand alone outside of S'toon,
prep'd for an inslab heating system
concrete cost $9200
lumber, shingles, steelcraft 8'x16' O/H door, vinyl siding $8300
labour to frame, shingle $2000
if you get serious about it, and you are considering a hoist as future add in, you need to ensure that you plan the locations of the hoist post before you begin, i did not consider it and now with the heating in the slab i can't really drill any holes in the concrete for fear of hitting the heating tubing. the hoist will requires some form of footing at the post locations, this needs some engineering input.
