I finally decided I was going to bite the bullet and buy a quick lift. I started shopping and trying to decide which size I w2anted etc... and slowly changed over to a mid lift scissor lift. I bought a model just like this one and have LOVED it. First the wheels roll on a metal pan that is part of the jack so no worries about the steel wheels rolling over cracks or spalling and degrading your concrete floor. the ramps are more than wide enough to drop the engine down and out of any Porsche. The quick jacks would not have lifted the car high enough, the mid lift raises it high enough to put the engine on a transmission jack and adjust height and angles etc... Another nice feature that I hadn't counted on is buffing cars out. Its a drive over ramp with rubber blocks so it's easy to roll it in, raise it up and you can do side and lower rockers with out bending over. It is awesome for polishing a car out. I got mine for just a little over $1,700 which was not much more than the 6,000 lb Quick lift. all said and done I think I paid maybe $200-$300 more than I was about to with the quick lift, but have a LOT more flexibility. We have changed an engine in a Boxster and about to do an engine swap in a 996 and honestly don't think the quick lift would have been as nice and helpful. I am not paid by anyone, no sponsership of any kind, just my 2 cents. you mileage may vary........
