Place it so that it is easiest to get a car on it, especially if it can't
move under its own steam. Also, minimized the available space for cramming
in other cars - the fewer in there at one time, the more room (easier) to
work on those that are there.
Sheesh, that mess looks a LOT like my hangar
I was thinking of angling it to the left of that other lift, toward the smaller
door. If I do it to the right it will be a real tight turn trying to get it in.
If I do it straight in, if far enough in I would have room to park cars behind
it and should have room to the right to get around it

Other potential issues too. I know a fellow who had a gas version that
looked like that. Not certain of the year.
His car developed problems with the ABS brake system and parts for it
were almost unobtainable. I think they finally found used parts and
patched it up so that he could sell it.

I would have been on that about 15-20 years ago when I wanted one.
But those 2.4L sixes are not as reliable as OM616 or 603.
