I certainly know how that feels my friend, been there.... It took me a while too.
Careful, there are a lot of "opinions" out there.
BTW, I am on Rennlist under the same name in 997 forum.
Regarding all repairs, make sure it all makes sense even if you don't have background in mechanics, if you know what I mean. Even better, have someone you trust with you as your sanity check, or "bad cop".
I do a lot (if not all) by myself. That way I don't have to deal with shops, mechanics, etc. Oil change is trivial, many do it even without a floor jack.
A $99 Costco alu floor jack will make your life easier. A lift of some sort will make it feel like heaven. There is a thread in 911 Technical about all sorts of lift options. This forum is mostly about aircooled anyway.
Enjoy your dream car.
