Private plates

True, but mine was cheap, and was getting hacked off with people judging the car just by it's H plate! :roll:

 

The old plate is defunct and is never issued again. You can keep it but have to pay a retention fee, which needs to be renewed periodically, and is at DVLA discretion.

so basically, they can sell it to someone else and get even more money?!

Yup, or it'll be re-issued when someone swaps a private plate to their new car for use on their old car... :?

If it isn't re-issued, they you can ask for the same one back when you sell it. It helps keep the paperwork simple. Mine used to be VR6 259 - should have bought that too really :(

those £250 ones are £375 inc VAT and transfer fee.

 

DVLA prices are fully inclusive - apart from the auctions.

Oh, I thought once an old plate was taken off that was it, never to be seen again unless you pay to 'retain' it..... Funny business this, because after all, technically any plate always remains the property of the DVLA / Government.

 

Got to be worth paying a bit extra NOT to get a plate from a rusty 1973 Belfast Milkfloat though...GAZ ####, WAZ####, JIZ #### in a Max Power stylee. :lol: :lol:
