Buying a used lift worth the savings?

I found some lifts advertised that are coming out of a repair shop, bendpak MX-10ACX, 10,000lb, manufactured in 2003. They’re $500 apiece, buyer takes down. That obviously a dang good price, but is the $2500-3000 savings worth having a 20 year old lift vs a new one?

I would say "maybe". If you can actually inspect the OPERATING lifts, up to and including putting a vehicle on them and raise them up and let them back down for several cycles, then yes, I MIGHT would buy one that way. Even still, remember you're spending 500 bucks on something that normally can cost thousands, PLUS, you're relying on it with yours and possibly others lives.
