914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Lift group buy anyone?

Posted by: obaa996 May 3 2005, 12:17 PM

I think there was a thread recently (?), where folks were talking about getting lifts. Dunno if anyone is still interested or not, but another car club is running a group buy on a 4 post lift; this is the second run for these lifts. I believe this is the lift in question:

I think the price was $1450 plus shipping the last time around; I'm thinking of getting one for myself this time, although I think I will need to knock out the ceiling drywall in the garage to make it fit. If anyone is interested, the buy is through the Viper club, and I believe the payment is being handled directly between buyer/manufacturer. There's also a break on shipping multiple lifts to the same location (they weigh around 1700lbs), so if any of you PDX types are interested.....

Mine is a "work in progress".... I plan on putting mine up on jackstands once I get it up in the air, so I can do my
rusto work on it. I plan on parking another car underneath. Then, when it's done (probably before my kids retire),
I'll use it as storage parking. 4 cars, 4 motorcycles, and a 3 car garage that also serves as a storage room; it's an interesting juggling act...

Thanks for the info, but I can't afford my lift until July. I just got done with my garage( over budget) as I tore the roof off( some wind damage from last years hurricanes) and put a new one higher to use a lift. I have to wait until July as I only get 2 commision checks a year. In the meantime the 914-6 is coming home this week and my IROC is in a shop for the next couple of months.
