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.
