Andrew, Costco sells a nice looking lift. Not going to be the full walk under sort, but seems to lift the car enough that you can use a cart to scoot around and wrench.
If you want a full height lift, look at your local auction house. Around here, the auto shops and dealers are going bust and their toys end up at auction pretty regularly. The costco lift goes for around $1500, which is about the price you can grab a real lift at auction. clay On Sep 9, 2013, at 7:47 AM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > Has anyone on the list installed one of these?
