Default Thinking about buying an OEM car cover

I've been thinking about buying a used OEM s2000 car cover. I don't see them posted much, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how much they go for used. Is it that much better than an aftermarket one?

I know that the fabric used between the two is different... is one preferred for outside over the other?

it's the material of the cover. the dust cover is not meant to be used outside as it's not waterproof. If it rains, your car will get wet. The guard cover is advertised as not absorbing water which to me mean, water proof.

Dust cover is usually meant to be used in a garage while the other one is for outdoor use against rain, wind, tree sap etc.

That's what I thought! haha

But the guard cover is not OEM and the dust cover is?

@Cal: told you so!
