What the heck does "registration is on non opp" mean?

I thought of Ron Ziegler, who famously said "That Statement is No Longer Operative" when I saw that. I interpreted it to mean the registration has lapsed or there is no title.

In California you can register your car this way if you do not plan on driving it:

"If you plan to store and not operate your vehicle during the next renewal year, you may apply for the Planned Non-Operation (PNO) option online. There is a filing fee for the PNO.
The PNO filing fee may be paid up to 60 days prior to the expiration date without late fees. If you file up to 90 days after the expiration date, you will be liable for late fees on the full registration amount.
If at any time the vehicle is operated or parked where it may be subject to citation, then full registration fees and penalties for that year become due."

I've also seen this approach be taken on vehicle that can't registered due to either road worthiness issues or that it won't pass the smog test. I'm a former born and raised long term California native that's seen this done before so buyer beware.

odometer: 9255 for a 2000 is crazy. 514 miles per year can't be enough enjoyment for a Boxster. Makes me wonder what all needs to be replaced with all the sitting this car has done.

Really tempted to get this despite the fact that I don't have a need for it. I may get in trouble if more car parts appear in the garage, though.

At that price it is what a friend calls an ego listing...

Could simply be a 'wifey listing'... as in:
Husband: "Sure honey, you're right. We oughta get rid of one of the cars. Let's sell the Boxster since it's oldest. Go ahead and take a few pix so you can put on Craigslist.

Wife: "Great honey - thanks so much for agreeing. How much should we ask?"

H: "Book value shows Boxsters w/ only 9,000 miles sell for $22k with all our options. Seems really fair since we paid $55k for new. List at $20k and let's see what happens.

W: " Honey you won't believe all the scam calls I keep getting offering $7.5-10k for our beautiful car."

H: "You're right honey that's not nearly enough. We oughtta just keep but at least you tried hard though."

W: "Yeah, absolutely. Can't believe people would think we're that stupid - it's a Porsche."

H: "If you insist dear"
Haver heard this worked for a friend once or twice

You can find Caymans with similar mileage for the same price............with a working transmission. And being sold by someone with a firm grasp of the English language.

Just sayin'............
