Car lift group buy

http://www.gotogroupbuy.com//229/EZCARLIFT.aspx

I know some of you wrench and having access to a lift can make the work a lot less painful. This lift looks like a good option for people with normal height garages, and it breaks down and stores easily. Sign up if you are interested.

Holy Cow

Buyers Price
6-10 $1,405.69
11-20 $1,338.75
21-100 $1,275.00

Uhm, I think I will stick with taking some extra time and my 4 jack stands or better yet, just take my car to my friend since he is a mechanic and has plenty of access to lifts.

I'd still love to have a proper lift, but I need a garage first ( preferably a garage with a drain ).

Heck yeah, a real full size lift you can double up on the car storage, but pretty certain you aren't parking another car under this lift unless it's a Big Wheel.

Wow... way too expensive.

For not too much more you could have a proper lift. I just don't know if I'd trust that thing.

I don't have the ceiling height for a "proper" lift.

WTF? I was expecting a real lift.



OT - it would be awesome to have a real lift, not whatever they're trying to sell for a thousand bucks in the op.

Yeah, and for a little more than that I can get a real lift. Which is what will be happening in the next few years now that I've got the garage bit sorted out

Yeah, like others said, it is way too expensive for what it is. Not to mention I dunno how much I'd trust it. Since I've seen a scissor lift collapse for no apparent reason, I don't trust them at all. The hydraulics will wear out and there aren't safety mechanisms like the locking anchors on real lifts. For $100 I'd buy one of these but for over $1,000 I don't think so. This totally looks like something that Harbor Freight would sell.
