Much involved / benefit in joining the classic register? Wee 986 qualifies so might sign up

No. Just go in and fill out a form with your name and address a d VIN. They mail you out a pack, some number plate holders and discount off your parts purchases. Takes 5 minutes

I need to get in and have a look at that Boxster 25

It's lovely. Not sure if new/virtually new as it looked like the plastic was still on the stereo screen. Not a fan of the wheels tho. Look a bit like Rota rims or something.

Lads, bit of advice.
I've been offered an 07 Boxster 2.7 5sp manual. Car has full Porsche history, Porsche Performance Exhaust, just been MOT'd and the body is in good condition. Black paint, black hood and black leather interior.
It's been offered to me for £4.5. I'm tempted to snap the guy arm off for it.
Am I buying a depreciating money pit or it is likely to go up in value

You definitely shouldn’t lose anything at it
A 987? Sounds cheap, unless it has 160k on it

68k on it. My neighbour bought from a friend who was terminally ill two years ago. I know the full history of the car.
Correction. It's a 986, 2004

More like the thing but still a bargain in my eyes would say that is probably a 5.5 - 6k car if its in nice enough shape, maybe more.

I did look out of interest and the cheapest here is 6.5k with 109,000. This one is a minter in comparison
No idea how @Woodcutter managed to drive 2 cars to Kelly’s today 
but they were both looking well.
If you ever need a reason not to buy a demo car then it was clearly seen today as people let their kids climb all over the insides of the cars on display from Porsche Belfast. One dad told his kids to try not to put their feet on the seats, another was stepping from driver to passenger seat via the large central display in the Taycan, think a part of me died at that stage!

And that's before you get to all the people having had them out for test drives. A demo car is probably treated even worse than a rental, lol And then journalists

Thanks Davy, my Missus took the 944 and my son and I went in the 911. Had a great wee day.
