how to raise and secure the car

How do you jack and secure the Boxster when you need to work underneath? Can I back the car onto a ramp? Most ramps are too high for Boxster though.

You can use the factory jack located in the front trunk inside the spare tire cover or you can also use floor ramps, many forum members use them, make sure you have something to keep them from shoot out as your backing on to them like a banana out of the pealing of cartoon monkeys hands.

you can use the jack in the front trunk to get it up but.....

ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO UNCERTAIN TERMS SHOULD YOU CRAWL UNDERNEATH TO WORK OR EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR UNLESS IT SECURED ON JACK STANDS and/or ramps.

Working under a vehicle supported only by a jack is senseless as you never know when it could give way - regardless of jack rating. As a guide, always always always use either ramps, jack stands, or a secured lift when working under any vehicle that weighs more than you

I have a floor jack and 4 stands. For other cars, I normally jack the car from the factory jacking point then find another spot to let the car sit on the stand. Do I do the same thing on the boxster?

Is there a particular ramps I should buy for Boxster?

We have local owners who back up the rear on Rhino Ramps. They are made of plastic. They do not hit the rear bumper cover if the car is not lowered.

Would you be backing up on a slope or flat?

What work is it that you want to do?

Napa sells a shorter/low clearance plastic ramp that you can drive up on to very easy.
I do have a question to add here. I just had a 2 post lift put in to work on my other cars but wanted to know if anyone has seen or used a 2 post to lift there box. I know there are the four jacking points but slightly concern with any flex or safety problems. I havent had a chance to stop at the dealership to ask. If there honest.
