I am tired of crawling around under jack stands to work on my 914, WHat type of scissor lifts are you running Options

I dont really have room in the garage for a two post lift.. so I figure a scissor lift might be better... let me know what you think. My ceiling is 11 feet and don't want to spend more than 2000 ish... or am i out to lunch...

How about a used 4-post lift? 11ft clear is sufficient and a 4-post gives you storage space and great access from below.

I bought a used Rotary 4 post. Installation under a 10.5’ ceiling was a pretty straight forward one man job. IIRC required renting a hammer drill for putting holes in garage floor. Other tools like a good (laser’s best) level, plumb bob (I used to check level accuracy), are recommended.

Still in my garage but not set up now, but miss it almost every day. Very useful for storing and / or working on cars.

Having a 914’s a plus due to its low height.

Something to keep in mind when comparing the height stack up of cars and lift (for storage use) to ceiling height, it’s important to subtract the total floor slope from the ceiling height. Builders typically build in a slope for water drainage. If I’d considered this beforehand, I would have insisted on a zero slope floor.
