It has two engines that will cost around $40-50K each to overhaul, complex
landing gear system - a friend just spent over $1000 replacing the aged out
hoses in the retractable gear system of his Cessna 210.
Twins are considerably cheaper to buy than singles since most know how much
MORE expensive they are to maintain and operate.

An aviation good deal only comes with current and complete log books for
both engines, both propellers, and the airframe, as well as all other FAA
required component items that would have airworthiness directives or
mandatory replacement or inspection.
Ideally, from when the aircraft left the factory to the day you look at it.
Then, it needs a fresh annual inspection by licensed FAA mechanic and that

I have many years of first hand experience of driving a 123 240D versus 
a 115 240D and the 115 version is much more peppy in auto form than the 
123 version.  My first experience with driving MB was my grandmothers 76 
240D auto (which is sitting in out in the shop).  My first car I owned 
myself was a 79 240D auto.  I always thought there was something wrong 
with it because it was so much slower than the 115.

I did the direct mail order thing. Sometimes they will give a discount.

Btw, all I could afford at the time was a model 20...

But then it didn't have an issue picking up the front end of a 1/2t RWD 'burb 
with a 6.2 in it... 

My only complaint is that it definitely takes more strength to jack with it 
than it does with other jacks... But then you can choose to lower things very 
slowly if you want...

So did you buy it directly from them or through a local dealer?

I ask because I may be interested, and I saw they have a local rep in Tampa.

 There are spots to grease all of the wheels, and it rolls silkily! (I've had 
 it for several years, and it works as well as the day that I got it)
 
 It wasn't cheap, but then having a car drop isn't cheap either... (I always 
 use jack stands and/or cribbing, so I'm not depending on a jack to keep the 
 car up...)

Jon, 
The Craftsman jacks actually don't have the best reputation. Look at the 
reviews. They are prone to leaks. 
I would consider a Harbor Freight aluminum 2 or 2.5 ton or a Harbor Freight low 
profile steel jack. The Costco Arcan jacks are also considered good. 

If you want to splurge you can get a Hein Warner American made jack but it'll 
be expensive as would be the Griot's Garage jack.

I have a 3 ton Crapsman floor jack that was great until about 2-3 years ago
(it's probably 10 years old).

It doesn't leak externally, but it does leak down in a matter of a minute or
two if it's under load. It also takes a lot of effort and pumping to get it to
raise under a load.

I suspect it's leaking internally.

The sad part is that it hasn't been used all that much.

The cheap Chinese jacks leak because the rubber o rings fail. The high quality
American or European made jacks use leather seals that last much longer. You
get what you pay for. That being said I have a couple of Chinese jacks made by
Larin that I bought about 15 yrs ago at BJs and they aren't leaking!
