The basement is often where you store appliances. You can't just move it into the garage....
Of course, the garage, etc., would require a proper floor slab and roof. If the soil isn't too bad, the savings won't be huge.
In my opinion, this is not the same thing. A garage has a different purpose and requirements than a basement.
In most cases, the basement is in a thermal envelope and the garage is not. I would place the laundry room next to the bathroom/bedroom/closet. The bikes are in the garage so they are easy to get to. I prefer to have parties in the living/dining room rather than in the basement or garage.
