Default How much to throw up a garage?

I am thinking about buying my mom's house. There is no garage on the house now. I really want a garage. Right now I don't care if it is attached or not. If its not that much more I can add a small mud room inbetween when the garage is built.

For a basic 2 car garage, I don't know what kind of dimensions I want yet but it has to be big enough to fit a Chevy Silverado 2500 extended cab ( I don't have this truck but who knows in the future so if this fits most anything I buy will fit. ) I don't need the whole garage finished by someone I can do a lot of the finish work if its a cost saver.

Are there any websites that will give an approixmate of what it should cost by sq ft? I will need a floor put in and it built from there.

I can probably afford 20-30k for this. Hopefully it will be enough.

You're right in the ballpark. My father is building a detached two car 20x24 at right around 20k without sheetrock inside. All wiring, etc. included.

Yea I paid around 22K for mine. I think it was worth every penny though.
