new shop toy.... maybe

[jar1292]

Christmas present to myself on ebag... A new 2 post car lift!!!!     actually I bought a new exhaust for my 300c and then thought crap that thing is 5" off the ground. So I called my buddy and said your going half with me if I found a good lift for a good price! He was not sure. But considering that he works for me on the side his pay check may be with held for a bit.... lol besides he will use it 90% more then I. (servicing my cars as I let him drive them because I work out of town... and his family's) You have to understand that this guy has a serious problem of a clean car/truck. he will spend hours detailing to the point that I joke with him that even a car off the assembly line has more dust on it then yours...  I think it will be a win win situation.

You lucky, lucky man!    Happy Christmas.

Congrats!

I researched a lot last year on different lifts for myself. A lot of people like the Max Jax lift.

Thanks guys, it is an Atlas BP9000 9000lb capacity. Now the hard part of actually cleaning out the place I want to put it. In the way is my brothers 1929 mercedes kit car, any one interested in taking it off my hands? Im sure he will sell cheap!

That's pretty damn cool!  I just tried to find how much it is - can't find anything.  I'm guessing it's pretty expensive.

Reportedly, the price is around a grand. Half the price of a lift.

WOW! is it too late to put it on my wish list for Santa for him to get it under my tree this Xmas?
That's pretty nifty.

you can usually find a good used one on craigslist for $700 to $800.  i got a nussbaum which is a quality, german made lift for $600 a couple years ago.  i regularly see them on the kansas city craigslist for less than $1000.  they aren't hard to take out or put in.
