This "Parkhaus" has direct access to the train station. They're located on Gartenstrasse 150. They charge CHF 100 for 3 days.
Please note that they're NOT in the train station but close by. I think you would want to drop your suitcases off at the station unless you travel light.
As far as I know, there is longterm parking in the station but it's difficult to get a space. If you contact the SBB Reisebüro (Travel Centre) in the station, they ought to be able to tell you.
Tel. +41(0)51 229 24 62 Hours: Mo to Fr 9am to 7pm; Sat 9am to 4pm.
Good luck

Waggis, thank you kindly for the helpful information. I got to the point a few days ago where I knew I had to purchase the tickets ASAP, so I actually wound up calling the Basel train station in the middle of the night (I was up anyway...too much on my mind!). The friendly English-speaking employee at the train station gave me the phone number for the Central Bahn Parking, so I then proceeded to call them. A man who only spoke Swiss-German answered, and I had to dig really deep to inquire about long-term parking in German! It was amusing, to say the least. He quoted me the same CHF 100 for three days. Wow! That's $113 US. It'll be fine, though. That'll work out better for us than taking a train or bus to Basel's train station from Germany. Thank you again for your help!
