Is car lift necessary if you want to work on your car in your own garage, or is just mainly to make things easier? How much can youdo with just jack and stands?
You can do almost everything without a lift.
If you own a 911 then you almost need a lift though.
You can do literally everything with a jack and stands. A lift does make things a hell of a lot easier though. I have changed tramsmissions in a driveway with just a jack.
What's the best "amateur beginner's" lift?
Something portable, probably

Something like this would be comfy. How much would it cost?

Couple grand for the lift, a grand of two for installation since it's built into the floor. They make ones that just sit on the ground though.

I happen to have a 911, getting myself either a flush mount BendPak MDS-6KF (pic related) or a MD-6XP, a portable version of their mid-rise lift.
Reminder that a pit is just as good as a lift at a fraction of the cost

isn't it safer as well? no chance of it collapsing like a lift
>>15004285
except if you don't have a pit jack then you're fucked.

if you're not careful you could just drive that bitch right into the pit

That why you cover it when not in use.

You can do it all without the lift
