I found a used Forward, 12,000 lb for $1000 a few years ago. I had to help take it down. It is four post and lifts with roller chain rather than cable. A two post is more convenient if you are working on tires/brakes, but I do more under the vehicle, so the four post works best for me. And, I can park on it and raise it out of the way if needed. It was on Craigslist. They come up occasionally on the ad sites if you are patient. Also, if you like to go to auctions, I have seen several sell in the last couple years. If you intending on new, I'm not much help. Good luck.
