If you can get one for 1k or less, I’d say it’s a steal especially if you plan to tackle a job you’d otherwise outsource (oil pan gasket, RSF, etc).
I'm definitely going to start shopping around! I have a leaky oil pan gasket and rear differential pinion seal, and I'd always rather spend money on tools than labor.

There are a few key jobs on these cars that are low-pats-cost but high-labor-cost, and doing your own wrenching makes all the difference when it comes to out-of-warranty maintenance. At least that's what I'm telling myself to justify buying a QuickJack, lol.
