I'm installing a stairlift for my dad whether he wants it or not. I've told him it's going to happen because I'm not taking care of the mess if he falls. We've had a couple over-the-phone quotes and two in-your-face quotes and everything is within $50 (go figure!) . Its a long stairwell so if I was going to do a craiglist special I'd still be on the hook for extra track and whatever else can go wrong.
The only thing hanging me up now is I've had two salesmen tell me an unheated garage calls for an outdoor model which is about $1000 extra (some charge less for the option but more expensive up front). I've had others tell me its the seat covering, buttons, some shrink boot on the wires is all that are significantly different but that the circuitry track and motor are exactly the same. The garage "never" gets below 32 degrees, which I'm guessing will never happen as long as no one ever leaves the garage door open, or pulls out and drives off without making sure the door closes.
Whaddya think? Roll the dice with the old man? I say go for it!
