So I found another on eBay rated for 19 SEER for only $749.99:
9000 BTU Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner and Heat Pump 19 SEER 110 VOLT

And another which is 20 SEER for $819.99:
12000 BTU Ductless AC Mini Split Air Conditioner and Heat Pump 20 SEER 110 VOLT

Now I'm thinking either of these would be a better choice.....

Don't over think it. Its a garage. How much time will you be spending in it? Do you even care if seer rating past building code? If you get up to 17 seers, I think you are in good shape. I can't keep up with seer ratings anymore. They seem to up it yearly for efficiency and code. The older ones just do not move and sits in their warehouse. Try and get after those for a good price.

If possible, get the 240V units. More efficient
