Joe,
I have a 4-post lift that I picked up used for about $1500. I it a "Stinger"
brand and is smaller than most and specifically designed for small cars. This
is an issues I had not realized. The full size 4-posters take up a very large
foot print in your garage. You also need a high ceiling in the garage to
allow the full height lift.
I could never have justified the lift at list prices ($3600) but I am very
glad to have it. No more sore back and filthy hair from going under the jack
stands.
The 2-post would have been my first choice... but you can use a steel or 4x4
wood beam cross piece between the wheel ramps to jack a wheel or support the
engine.
