2 post is better anyway, cos you can do jobs with the wheels off, only thing you cant do really is tracking, but i doubt you'd be doing that anyway

maybe look at garages that are being auctioned kind of thing
my dad was needing bits for fitting lorry tyres (cost about £200) a kind of crow bar thing and he looked at auctions where garages went bust and they were selling everything
just a possibility

You can get 4 posters on Ebay for around £1000 - £1500 sometimes. I was looking into it a while back...

Should be able to get one for less than a grand. I have a pair of four posters in storage. Not really wanting to sell them but before you pay a grand for one let me know.
I just bought a new 2 post one for £3k
I'm sure you can get new 4 post budget style ones for around the £1800+vat mark
rope operated are basically steel cables
one post is hydraulic which pulls the other four posts up basically using ropes and pulleys as you say!
