I think it is absolutely worth $300+ to have a lift delivered and assembled. They are not hugely complicated, but the ramps in particular are quite heavy and awkward. It can be done by two guys who are strong in a few hours. I had both of mine delivered, assembled and then later repeated when I moved homes. </div><div><br></div><div>As for the lifts, I'd check the age and usage. A muffler shop is pretty heavy usage compared to a residentially-used unit. I'd be more concerned about getting an old worn-out unit than paying the premium for set-up. Good luck, and remember to park your wife's car underneath for the first few weeks! </div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

This is a narrow (100 inches overall) lift and leaves room for a car beside it, so it is perfect for me. I can buy a new one for $2,825. The seller is asking $2K and will deliver it to me. The photos look OK, but I think I have seen similar lifts sell for $1,500 used. Of the seller delivers and helps set it up, that is worth something, maybe $200 to $300?</div><div><br></div><div>Ken</div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br><br>Detomaso Forum Managed by POCA<br><br>DeTomaso mailing list<br><a href="mailto:DeTomaso@poca.com">DeTomaso@poca.com</a><br>http://poca.com/mailman/listinfo/detomaso_poca.com<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
