My recollection is that it was under $2k. If anyone is interested, I will dig out that information. I haven't bought one yet, but decided it made the most sense for me, as it could be rolled out of the garage if the space was needed and could also be used to store a car. Since I am incapable of owning a reasonable number of cars this is important :-) Regards, Stan Shaw Stan.Shaw@Excell.Net Phone: (413) 599-0399 Fax: (413) 599-0421 Excell.Net Owner/Operator http://www.Excell.Net/ 928 Owners Club President http://www.928OC.org/ 928Racing.net Team Member http://www.928Racing.net/ "Liberty once lost is lost forever." - John Adams

I guess the one drawback of the scissors is that you can't park a car under the one on the lift like you can on a 4 poster and like I've seen done lots of times on a 2 poster but which most manuf frown upon.

Once source for the lift is Northern Tools, $1899 including shipping. A search of the lift brings up other sources as well. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200349258 _200349258 P.S.
