if you have the money get a rotary lift. They are great lifts. Thats what we have at the dealer I work at and at GRCC. Made in the US. http://www.toolsource.com/2post-surf...y-p-94554.html

I would love a lift in my garage! Instead I do this -->
Check your local business closings, and auctions (like http://www.auctionzip.com , etc. ) like mentioned above. Ya never know, you may get one for a good price.
