Just an FYI for folks in MD/VA. The new Costco @ Arundle Mills has these jacks in Blue. I picked one up today, $349.00. Very nice. Allows much better control in lowering the car, compared to my other floor jack. It's a keeper.

How many do they still have left?

The MD guys may need your help to grab those units that are still on the shelf. The Costco store down here said that they wouldn't order anymore units because it is a deleted item.

I agree, how many left? Robin, I might be able to ship one to you. Kind of defeats the purpose of the group buy though?

Well guys, none in my local store. Do I need to drive to Baltimore for the goodness of the cause?

Take I95 north towards Baltimore. Get off at RT100 East. Take 100 to 295 south.
Once on 295 take the next exit, this is a new ramp that is for just the mall. Go around the round-about back over 295. When you reach the first light, make a left and costco will be down on your left.

Here's mine, $99 from WalMart, 2.5ton, about 4.5"tall. Fits under my 996 with no trouble.

BTDT, will last for a year maybe then it is garbage. At 4 1/2 inches it is too tall for a lowered 993 unless you us 2x10's.
