Well it's time for me to buy a lift. I know 100% for sure I want a 4 post lift. It will only be used for cars. Most of the home/hobby lifts are cable not chain. I would rather have a chain but I'm not sure that's worth the extra $1,000. I am looking at 9K - 12K pound lifts. There are so many out here to choose from it is making me nuts (Eagle, Panther, Surperior, Bend Pak, Back Yard Buddy, American, etc..). There are some real good (or what appear to be) package deals on e-bay (Panther lifts). Not sure how great the price would be after adding shipping from Texas to California. Are there any dealers in California?
What lifts would you guys suggest. I know Rotary are about the cream of the crop but, they are back east and probably more lift than I need or want to afford. I don't want to skimp. I like the lifts that offer casters and jack trays but, they appear to be the lighter duty cable driven type. Are cables ok? For $2,999 I can get an Eagle 12K lift, chain driven but, don't want to spend another $1500 getting it shipped.
I'm open to all suggestions, brands, advice. I am pretty much ready to buy now.
