The cheapest car lift?

Does anyone know what is the THE absolute cheapest available 2 or 4 post lift available today that goes high enough to park a 2003 Camry underneath with fully inflated tires?

I know there is 2-post Direct Lift (which is recommended due to being "quite good" for a Chinese-made model) and is $1,600. That's a great example of something I'm not looking for because it references quality....for the purpose of this specific post question I am emphatically asking any responders to specifically exclude any recommendations that consider quality at all. In other words it doesn't matter if the lift recommended is what would be considered a "piece of junk" because for the application at hand I am only looking for the cheapest offering available.

I found a 2-post model online for $1,340. AliBaba and AliExpress have them for $1,000 plus import customs duty charges and other taxes and with "Buyer Protection," so you don't have to worry about fraud which is rampant on Ali, but still I have no idea how much the customs and other charges would be...it's generally a total unknown for me to order from China.

Anyway in summary $1,340 is the cheapest I could find that's actually here in the United States.

Does anyone know of a cheaper one?

For further clarification, I also understand there are used lifts available for very cheap, but for the purposes of this question please EXCLUDE ALL USED options and focus exclusively on NEW.

    Hm, Harbor Freight seems to have discontinued their two post lift one. Not sure if it went high enough for your needs either. Maybe Northern Tool?

    I don't think I would like to stand under a car that is up on "THE absolute cheapest available" lift just like I wouldn't get under a car supported by Chinese Harbor Freight jack stands.

    But...that's me!

    I am not going to stand underneath it or even go near it. It's for storage only.
