If by Lift Ramp, you mean a four post Bendpac lift, that will be a few weeks and I am going to buy new. . The Ford is so close to running under its own power. Rather than paying for another tow I would like to drive out of the shop.
My wife reminds me that the cost of repair to the car could easily exceed the cost of a new lift, so go with the safe new unit.
At first blush, the used lift might looked like a good deal, to me, but I am having some misgivings after doing a ton of research and calling the manufacturer in California.
There is a $250 cost for disassembly, transportation for about 10 kilometers, about $200 then another $250 to reassemble. I would have a pre-purchase inspection done and that is $100. Suddenly a used lift is starting to get expensive and it is still used and older. I was told that these lifts continue to evolve and in time some of the parts may have to be custom made because old parts stock has been depleted and a newer design will not fit.
Bendpac lifts meet and exceed the ALI certification.
http://www.autolift.org/ Babco have a good read, on their site, about certification. Some have meaning and others are just BS to trick the consumer. I just read a new story of the FBI investigating a company who was cheating on lifts. After some time of investigating the possible fraud, the company owner was arrested and charges.
http://www.babco.ca/ Our back lane is better suited to having a wheel lift truck, both tow drivers said. The move was about 23 meters each way. The ramp truck has moved this car 6 times in the past, but that was long distances.
