I know I'm only 25 but I'm sick of working on my back lol. I'm close to pulling the trigger for $1400. I do all the work that I can on my cars so I'm under a car with jackstands a lot.

if you have the head room for a lift, do it. its fairly cheap, and makes life SOOO much easier.

I'd say do it. It will surley be a lot easier for you to get under the car and work. I'm so jealous if you get it 1400 is a great price.

Id probably rather get the one for $1750. I like it's lifting arms a little better.

Buy it while you are young and you will get great use out of it. I've been saying I should buy one for the last 30 years and I know it would have paid for itself by now. I'm so stupid......

Yes. I was shocked at how quickly lift prices fell. If you are under your car more than 4 times a year it's totally worth it. (oh and you have the space)

I'm sure there is some kind of footer requirment for a proper install. I have seen them advertising in the Mustang 5.0 and Muscle Machine magazines.
