For How to do most maintenance on a 986, the Pelican Parts tech articles are great. Pelican Parts is the forum sponsor, and the articles are included in: 101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster -A mandatory purchase if you buy a 986 from a seller that doesn't give you a copy.

Happy hunting. If you have any reservations about buying a particular car, don't be afraid to walk away. There are plenty more and a better one will come along soon.

Thanks, mon! I'm thinking the jack you posted plus a couple of jack stands should be safe, plus I can toss them in a closet, storage-wise. Does the 986 have a jacking spot that's centrally located so I can lift it and slide both stands under at the same time? I'm thinking if it doesn't I can't lift one side way up to get the stand under, because it would be too bent/twisty if the other side stays on the ground at the same time...
