Once you press a button to make your car go up and down as you please - you realize it's the greatest thing you've ever bought if you like to work on your own car. I did and it's worth every single penny it cost me (200000 pennies).

Meh, if you guys can't get on your backs under a car up on jacks, you aren't real wrenches.

Alright, I envy you. I hate crawling under the car , only to have to crawl out to get a tool I forgot. But I guess you guys have bigger bank than me. I can't see investing in a lift that I will use only a few times a year.

Oh, any of you guys in the Miami area?

I purchased this AMMCO scissor lift used when I lived in Orlando off Craigslist. The movers loved putting this on the moving truck . When I bought my house in GA. I decided to recess it into the floor which I did myself. Just love using it makes everything so much easier. I've had my 914, 911 and Boxster on it no issues at all. One of these days I'll buy a used four post to go along side her. In my opinion buying used is the way to go.

EZCarLift!

The best option I could find for a one car garage. Only up about 18" here - goes to 26". Enough to remove the engine if you take off the rear bumper.
