I bought my AMMCO two-post asymmetrical unit from a local tire shop that
closed a store in a neighboring city. It was around $4K+ new and had seen
very little use. Got it for $1500 and they delivered it to me! Friend and
I put it in, took about a day. Make sure to rent a hammer-drill to make the
holes in the concrete, it makes holes faster than you can believe.
