Is the opening smaller than the dim's of the hoist as it sits on the ground? Post height/width?

I was just gonna say it doesn’t look like he has high enough ceilings to make that lift 100% useable.
Yeah you’ll have to disassemble inside the garage to get it out. Not the end of the world but plan for at least 3-4 hours of getting it apart and on a trailer. You’ll want a couple buddies unless you have access to a hoist, jacks, jack stands at the guys house. Honestly if you can get a bendpak with the center jack, casters, ramps, in what looks to be good condition, I would jump on it if it’s less than 4k
Bend pack will definitely be heavy if I recall they require them to fail at over 200% load capacity.
Our 10,000 lb Bendpack had no problem with a 14,000 lb truck after I shimmed the overload valve spring.

I’m sure my garage floor wasn’t poured thick enough for a two post.
Should be a bunch of lifts forsale in Florida right now......... 
I have a Bend-Pak HD9ST (the narrower version of the regular HD9).
I bought it through Garage Equipment Supply.
For that price now a days, you should have already made the purchase...

Reading all the comments has kept me from buying a used lift, so many obstacles of trying to get it out from someone's house. New have jumped in price by so much...a few months ago The Hamilton Collection was selling all 6 bendpack lifts at his house for $2500ea, that was an amazing deal.
I reached out to them a week after their post and they had already sold them all.
I paid $2,700 for mine NEW about 12 years ago. I saved a little on having it shipped to the freight company they used, facility here in Elgin vs. delivered. Then had my F-I-L with his crane truck get it and take it over to the house.
I can't get over the nearly doubling of price since then.

I mean almost all of the lifts are made in asia/china and it costs like 4x as much to ship them here as before. Add in the cost of steel and it just gets nuts.
It's more than shipping and some extra cost in steel. I get those issues, I deal with them every day here where I work.
Again, I paid $2,700 to the common carrier location for my lift So figure $2,500 for the lift alone. The same lift, from the same store I bought mine from, today is $5,300. That's a ~112% increase in price.

That's insane. I'm trying to come up with a plate steel price from 2010 but don't seem to be getting accurate info, regardless, I don't think it's up 112%.

HD-9STX
The HD-9STX is a tall and narrow four-post lift from BendPak which combines a small horizontal footprint with extended-height runways. Because of this handy feature you can get higher-clearance vehicle easily parked underneath.

I will say there is a value on having a lift for every day purposes. Even though they are pricey I wouldn't wait a few years for them to drop in price if at all. It's one of those tools I wish I bought 20 years ago instead of waiting so long. Buy once, cry once but you always benefit from having one available even if it's for something as mundane like to change the oil in your car.
