I have 10' even and plenty of room for a 'normal' height car and a Vette:

Hey Jeff,

Bought it at Benco in Shakopee - Talk w/ Corey (nice guy)

Phone: 952-233-1490
Email: coreyb@bencostuff.com

Trying to remember the exact price, but I think the lift alone, without install or casters was $2800'ish.. I can look it up when I get to work tomorrow. w/ casters and install, ran about $3800.

Here's what I posted when I first got it - LMK if I can answer any questions.

When I was looking for my lift, I found the prices conveniently listed on the vendor's sites. Here's where I bought mine.

No trouble at all

There is some wiggle room re pricing - some vendors have more, some less.

The internet sites are are operating on pretty thin GP to begin with, but local guys (like Benco) have some room.

They originally quoted me over $3K, but I emailed them link to Northern Tool's site, where they were selling for $2850 at the time. They honored that pricing. I did find a super-low price at ASEdeals.com, but Benco couldn't/wouldn't honor that pricing (which I understood as they have more overhead as a 'local' business). I wanted it installed, and that wasn't an option from ASE, so I bought it locally for the slightly higher price.
