Prior to building my 26' deep x 30' wide x 12' ceiling shop last spring, I knew I would eventually want a lift. Did a bunch of research; fast forward to a month ago; I called around for prices on a 2 post asymmetrical lift. NAPA had some on sale thru the end of September, so it was perfect timing. I talked to my local "go to" mechanic and asked him who services his lifts. Called that guy and he had retired; but referred me to the new owners. Got a price from him and hung up. I immediately thought about the possibility of a used one and called him back. Fast forward to last week; I bought a fully functional used Rotary SP10 from him for $2,200 cash (installed with 1 free service call during 1st 6 months of ownership). Electrician charged me $300 to hook up to 220. I am now fat (not so much), dumb (not so much), and happy (very much) and have already used it twice! (Not able to upload pics ??)
