Anyone sold a plate? not sure if its worth anything really as its not that special, but I am selling the car soon, and want to know if its worth keeping

I also have no idea how to transfer it either!

Yours cluelessly

Surely its worth keeping if its personal to you iresprective of its value.
Contact one the reg plate dealers, they will value it for you and deal with transfer if you wish.

Whats the reg?

Go online and email say 10+ of the private reg sellers and ask them how much they would offer for your plate.

Just fill in a form and take it to a DVLA office. They'll then allocate the old registration back to the car.

Costs will be £100ish to put on retention for 1 year
£20+ for a new set of plates with the new reg number

If you're keeping it to try and make money...I wouldn't bother.

Could always stick it on Ebay to see if there's any takers before you sell the car.

I got a dateless personalised plate with my car when I bought it.

I put it into www.newreg.co.uk and they valued it at £2k, so I registered it for sale with them.

That is pretty much the end of the story, it has been on their website for a year now, and no-one has bought it, which doesn't surprise me at all 🙂

I used to work witha bloke that had A115 TAR (ALL STAR) on his Sierra. He was just isssued with it, and he tried to sell it, but nobody was interested, which I thought was quite surprising really....

I have one with ELV 1S on - do you think that will be worth much?

N12CHL - previous owner's surname was Nichols.

At the time it was worth £250. Why is it worth mucho more now?

N12CHL Thats pretty tenuous!

It came on the car in a private sale. Seller threw it in as part of the deal. I agreed as I thought could have added value but to be honest it was embarrassing... a MX5 with a private plate 😆

I changed my name to "FGT 665W" it was cheaper than a new numberplate.

older six digit plates are great for motorbikes, as you can legally have a smaller plate then 😉 mine cost 99p on ebay

a plates value is is irrelevant really, unless someone wants it and is prepared to part with a wad of cash ya knackered! bought mine for £250. There is one very similar (one digit difference) on newreg and they're asking 7.5k fr it - funnily enough it's been for sale for a long time ...

I sold RRJ 749 for £1000 20 years ago - its suprising what has value and what does not. Ask the various traders

You need to sort out in good time as you can't have the plate.

The price is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, in the merest chance that the letters / numbers are arranged so as to be meaningful to a potential purchaser.

every car i have owned with personalised plates (and that's been alot as rusty nissan prarie will probably testify 😉 ), ive let go with the car at no extra cost.
