One thing about the Kwik-Lift is that you don't need a lot of vertical space in your garage to accommodate it.

They show up used occasionally on Craigslist and other places in the secondary market. I agree that $1300 is a lot to spend for some glorified steel ramps, but there's not much to go wrong on them, so a used set should be a reasonable option. I googled up a craigslist ad from last month offering one for $750.
