Wondering about hydraulic car lifts for the home-garage (did the search and its only lift-kits, Im not a trumper so that doesnt help me)
I have a 2-car garage with concrete foundation, want an older Audi S4 as a project car, Im keen to do my own work ...just want to know what I should look for and what I should avoid ..not on the S4, that's gonna happen regardless, the lift (not super worried about price, under 5k would be nice)

Don't be an ass, or you will be promptly removed. Stick to the subject matter. Thanks.
Well there's lots of lifts out there. It depends on how much space you want to take up. And how high you can actually go. Most garages have a limited ceiling bend pack make some good ones.
@scottykilmer Im an odd-duck, garage is detached and 12 foot ceiling (half I want to make into a brewery, the other half I want to use for working on cars)
Sure, your garage can fit a lift, but do you really need it? Unless you have health problems like mobility or something, a jack and stands will work perfectly fine. Scotty has gone his whole life as a professional mechanic without a lift. The only other reason I could see a backyard mechanic like you and me getting a lift is if you want to fit multiple cars in one space, like one on top of another. In that case I would recommend a 4 post lift over a 2 post.
