Default Where in the NW to buy a Two Post car lift?

Anybody have any connections? I am ready to buy now. I just want a good price. I'd prefer new, but I'd take one that looks new...

I bought an old used benwill 2 post because it was a deal I couldn't pass up. Turns out I can't remember how I lived without one. Single best tool I have every bought.

My buddy bought a bendpak xp-10AC for around 2,600.00 with free shipping from northern tool. I was very impressed with it, it is way stouter than my lift. It has dual hydraulic cylinders with cables to equalize the lift. This is the clear floor model which has the overhead bar. It is about 12 feet tall, & is the only way to go if you have the ceiling height. The shorter ones suck when using tranny jacks etc.

You prob already know all this stuff. GL

So does the overhead bar not get in the way when lifting the car up? Can you still walk under the car without hunching your back?

The top bar is at the 12' point, the car can be lifted over 79" in most cases. More than high enough! Also the top bar has a cut off switch so that if the car touches it, it turns off the lift. BTW 99.99% of shops use them...

I'd like a lift too, I have 11' 6" ceilings. I'm torn between a 2 post lift and a 4 post lift.
