Jim,
Unless you know the seller of the lift and/or the way it was used, I would
steer away from the lift. New ones aren't that much more, and when you
are talking about standing under 2 tons, why take a chance?
Also, why are they selling it? Maybe they can't get parts for it or
something is wrong with it.
Save your money, and buy a new one when you can afford it. (Just my
opinion.)

[Shop-talk] Car Lifts, yet again
Does anyone here have any experience the American Equipment Equipment
lifts?
I have done some searching on the company and the products, and have found
many complaints about the company's business practices, but little
information
about the products. I also checked the Shop-Talk archives and didn't come
up
with much.
I have a chance to buy one of their lifts used, which would avoid most of
the
complaints about the business. But, I'd still have to deal with them on
any
maintenance or repairs, which is a good reason to stay away from a used
one.
(Can you tell I am already talking myself out of this?) Plus, you have to
question the product quality of a company with poor customer service. (Two
strikes?) Still, I figure it would be worth polling the group to see if
anyone knew anything about the product itself.
Thanks.
