Just make sure the concreat where you mount it is deep enough to hold the weight . Safety first

That's a good deal .

I agree with Retro. Why so cheap? If there's nothing wrong with it or no missing pieces then you scored. I like one in my garage but its not high enough and its narrow. Just make sure you have enough room all around. Just in case you want to pull an axle out and it hits the wall then you have a problem.
