You really should use the search function. This is a regular point of discussion.
Many of us have two post lifts, scissors lifts, four post lifts or KWIKLIFT. I have a BEND PAK HD9 four post lift which is also owned by several other members.
Use keywords "lift" or "four post lift" or "BEND PAK" or whatever manufacturer you're considering.
Here's a recent discussion...

I just bought a ProPark7 off ebay for $1595 plus shipping. I've got all the mechanical stuff together, now just need to install the cables and the electric/hydralic unit and I'm good to go. I'm very impressed with the quality for the price you can't beat it. Look for ebay item number 220113939526.

Hey Testpros,

I'm glad to hear you like your lift. The price is just super. I notice you have your Vette on top and can park under it also. My lift is in a shop with 12 foot walls so clearance is no problem for me but a friend of mine wants one and he has a regular height garage. What height is your walls. I can't tell by the pic.

My ceiling is 11' 3". Also notice I have a side mounted garage door motor with allows the doors to hug the ceiling (hanging down only about 4"). I can even fit my Durango under there if need be.

Thanks for the info on some of the Ebay lifts I've never heard of before I'm very familiar with the brand names but none of the home owner brands. Just trying to get the most and safest for the buck. Would hate to drop my car. I'm a new-be to this forum and don't know all the ins and outs of this forum yet thanks for the 'search' info.

I finally got around to finishing my install on the Propark7 today. I love it. I would surely buy another one with out worry. Put the casters on and moved it around by myself. It's a little hard to steer but not to push.

I have a backyard buddy.
The name sounds hokey, but it is great!

Here is a pic http://www.vreveron.com/general/Vette/OnLift.JPG
My 5 series BMW fits under it just fine!

How tall are the posts on that Backyard Buddy? How high is your garage ceiling? It looks like an easy fit in a standard garage.
