Check out the backyard buddy. Higher priced but looked very high quality (and safe).

Rotary developed the technology as hydraulic lifts many years ago in the old service station lifts. As a division of Dover Corp. it is required to stress quality over price. If a Rotary Lift was not budget breaking higher there would be no question which one to buy.

I like the Forward Lifts. My brother worked at a chevy dealership and they had both Forward and Rotary lifts. Most of the dealers in my area use these two manufacturers. He liked the Forward better. The Rotary had issues with the photo-optic lens at the top of the lift. When you try to put the car down, one side of the lift would go down faster than the other. Then the saftey locks would lock, preventing you from lowering the car. He did not have any problems with the Forward lifts though.
The Rotary lifts had alot of extra "gadgets", which I don't care for. I like the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle, less things to break. The Rotary lifts have electronic up/down buttons and other electronics, which I feel are less reliable that the old fashioned mechanical controls.
Enough with my opinions. You want two things that are the most important, saftey and reliability. You don't want your precious car falling off the lift and especially ON YOU! Check out http://www.autolift.org/ they have a good website about lifts. Check their list of saftey certified lift manufacturers, then go from there.
I also don't feel confortable about used lifts. They could have been operated outside, abused or who know what. Your life and car are worth the extra money, spend it wisely.

Good luck.
PS, I bought a Forward two post 10,000lb lift (DP10AN) including delivery, installation, and sales tax for $3760.
