For $4k delivered and assembled. Any thoughts? https://www.costco.com/.product.100302337.html?&EMID=B2C_2017_0311_TireSolo
lots of these lifts are made in China and then rebranded for sale here. No problem overall. Not suggesting they aren't good lifts. Google for info on this company. With that said, when you buy from Costco you have zero risk. They will take anything back at anytime. I have patio furniture that is 2 years old from Costco. fading and basically falling apart. Out of manufacturers warranty by over a year. Costco will 100% refund. I love Costco.
Can you provide some more info to backup your claims? Best prices I've seen for the Made in China lifts are generally $2900+ $500 for shipping + $1000 for install...

I bought an Eagle lift 16 years ago and it looks exactly like this. Paid $3400 at the time and I installed it myself with 2 floor jacks.
It's the installation included that interests me. I'd rather not put my ride on top of something RandomJoe threw into the garage.
My made in US Bendpak cost was $3,500 plus $600 from installer. I would not buy this Challenger thing because it is possibly made in China and even with Costco backing it up, it is risky.
is bendpak MADE in the USA, or assembled in the USA? Or MADE in the USA with cheap CHINA parts Just things to consider because a lot of things are china parts one way or another
What's your reason for the lift? To stack cars for extra parking or for working on them. If simply to work on them, Costco usually offers an asymmetrical lift on sale for around $2,000 delivered.
It used to be but since about 2009 bend pak has been manufactured in china. It says manufactured in china right on the side of my bend pak HD-9 4 post lift, I bought it in 2009 thinking they were made in the USA as they had been but had moved the manufacturing to china at sometime in 2008. After looking it over its built well but I wasn't really happy it was made in china. Sorry its sideways I can't edit it and get it to adjust.

Extra parking is primany reason. I'm spending $2400/yr for keeping one vehicle offsite, so financially it makes sense for me to put a lift in my garage. But it would be tight and still not sure how convenient it is to use a lift, so I'm treading slowly and carefully before committing to any one option.
Many have answered already with good brands. There are several videos from US made that compare their quality to that of open channel, Chinese built - and it's very telling. And there are many quality companies that may be globally building their lifts and are still high quality (Bendpack). Video review: https://youtu.be/-MPJGROQIh8 There's also a whole world of add on parts as well - higher performance motors that can raise the lift faster, air jacks that can lift the car on the lift (for wheel work), etc. lots to research. For instance "shockwave" motor: https://youtu.be/M7Qtw23Wyc4
I paid around $1600 and $400 install 8 years ago. Just checked the website and they're $1995 now. I'd post a pic but it comes out sideways. https://nationalautotools.com/collections/four-post-auto-lift
for that 200 per month, what are you getting? Just a spot in a garage? Or is there more value to it? If you are thinking lift in the garage, you are 2 years of use before it breaks even. Now you have the maintenance, the hassle of getting the car on and off the lift when you want to drive it (as little as it may be), added insurance I suppose for your house, not to mention when it comes time to remove the lift, repairing the concrete/epoxy/floor in the garage prior to selling the house, or simply because you don't need the lift anymore. Just a couple things to think about. If it were me, I would gladly pay upwards of 250-400 a month for storage in a garage where they did the detailing, storage, battery tending, fluid top offs, minor maintenance, etc.
I've had a Direct Lift Pro Park 8, for about 4 years now. It operates flawlessly, and runs on 110volts. It didn't require any special flooring or preparation. It sits nicely on my standard garage floor. I'm very happy with it. No problems at all. At the time, I paid $1900. Plus $500 Delivery and $300 Installation. Included in that price was everything needed, including a set of wheels/dollies that attach to the bottom of the lift posts, that allow me to roll the lift around the garage floor for repositioning. Four Post Lifts I also paid another $500 for a sliding jack system: Pro Jack 3500 I think the current list price for the 4 post lift has risen from the $1900 I paid to about $2200. I have no affiliation with Direct Lift. I'm just reporting on my experience with their product. I've added a pic to this post. This shows my lift, in my garage, with my 2 Karmann Ghias. The lift is being used rather unconventionally - lifting one Ghia, while separating and lifting the body shell of a second Ghia. I now use the lift primarily to store my Mondial on top.
