Car Lift
Have you considered cutting holes in the roof in between trusses and boxing them in to allow the posts of the hoist to fit? Here is what I'm talking about (not mine, picture I found on the web...excuse the ford on the hoist, it was all I could find:) ). If you have 8ft ceiling 4/12 pitch you should have enough room to fit one (you don't say how wide the garage is). The Atlas 8000 I linked in your other thread only needs 4 in floor and 9ft 3 inch height. (actually think it only needs 9ft as that's the height listed in specs, plus a little to tilt posts into place I guess). You obviously wouldn't be able to utilize the full lifting capability of the hoist but the atlas is actually cheaper than the other options you are looking at and look to be better built, but that's just my opinion.
Just a thought.
