    Private Plates - any pros out there..?

    Update on post #122.

    ---

    So ironically inspired by a thread in the The Bear Pit that has a laugh at silly private plates, I've found myself considering getting one.

    I like the idea of having one plate forever, something easy to remember.

    N = number
    L = letter

    Current front-runners are a 5 digit plate off DVLA that has a decent link to my name initials (LN LLL), or a 4 digit plate off one of the main sites which is formatted (N LLL) with the 3 letters being a decent abbreviation of my surname. I prefer the 4 digit plate, but it does costs a lot more.

    I have a few questions:

    What are the risks to a private plate? From my reading it seems like as long as you're sensible about transferring the number off the car well in advance of selling the car, you're OK there. But I hear some horror stories about stolen cars and insurance companies (something about the reg being attached to the car, not the car owner). Any first hand experiences on this? Or other risks to be aware of? (I'm aware that technically DVLA own the reg and can recall it if you mess about with it)

    Do insurance companies tend to care? I'd be expecting some sort of admin fee, but they're not likely to land me in some high risk category for a plate change are they? I honestly wouldn't put it past them...

    Any other gotcha's to be aware of from experience? Or recommended websites that folk have used with success?

    Thanks

    I bought 2 earlier this year via Regtransfers (no association). I made a fairly ruthless offer on both (separate sales) and got the one for my wife's car for 50% of the advertised price after some haggling and the one for mine at 65% of the advertised price.

    Oh wow, that's really helpful info. Thanks.

    Most plates being sold by firms like Regtransfers are being offered on behalf of the owners of the plates , rather like estate agents operate. So, one would make an offer on a plate and the "middle man" would pass the offer on to the owner and come back with a counter offer or, maybe , accept ones offer , on behalf of the owner.

    £499 all-in for ?1 ??? is a steal compared to e.g. 7 ??? from a dealer at 10x the cost, esp. when they are listing it on behalf of somebody at 4x what it’ll cost them.

    I have two mirror plates 1 ??? / ??? 1 and quite honestly have stopped using as they seem to attract the wrong sort of attention and even anger.

    Check out the DVLA auctions as maybe something to suit and you can request them to list if unissued, although it may take time. You can also check historic auction prices which is useful when negotiating.

    Oh and VAT on some reseller listings is purely a seller-forced issue, like if coming from a company.

    It is worth looking through the lists of plates to find something that looks really neat that no-one else has noticed, particularly dvla staff. I have bought a few interesting ones that way. A few years ago I had a Buell motorcycle, I spotted BUE 11X on a dvla auction and got it very cheap. It looked absolutely amazing on the bike.
    My current plate has an unforeseen advantage due to the spacing. Car park cameras don't recognise it, although I assume ANPR can sort it out.

    Seems that's the market rates though for a 4 digit ageless plate. I guess there's a lot less of them. I did take a look at the last completed DVLA auction, you can download the results as an Excel which is handy. 4 digit plates were running between £4k-23k at auction (after adding 28.4% to cover VAT and fees, plus an additional £80 transfer fee), then with a few outliers in the £50-150k range (DSK 1 sold for £150k+ after fees, not sure why!). The one I'm looking at the very lower end of the spectrum.

    Interesting what you said about not using the plates, I hadn't really considered the reaction of random people to it.

    I think I'll put in an offer at the lower end of the DVLA auctions for similar X XXX plates if I decide to go for it, and then see how it goes.

    Thanks. I kind of think the one I'm looking at isn't far off the mark given the public auction prices for that style of plate. I doubt they'd sell less than DVLA auction prices, which gives me very little negotiation room to work with.

    The risks to having a plate are that repeated misplacing can result in it being confiscated, and if your car is financed it can be tricky getting it off should the car be written off.

    Can I ask what your name is, I worked 20 years at DVLA and might be able to suggest some options.

    I'm pretty finance adverse other than the mortgage, so no worries there (quite happy to just have a cheap car if needs must).

    I'll PM you RE your kind offer

    For me, dateless plates are much more desirable and more modern plates, especially with spacings altered, are a bit naff.

    Some years ago I bought ### LOU for Mrs Draft. Paid around 5k for it. While it’s not an investment I don’t expect it would would ever lose money, not that she ever wants to sell it. It’s certainly never attracted any adverse comments or attention apart from the police and port authorities in the Isle of Man, but I believe that’s more down to that island’s bent administration having marked my card than anything.

    That's a really interesting point, is there any legal restrictions to driving with a dateless plate abroad providing you follow the 'normal' plate rules (e.g. country mark etc)?

    I had a road trip around Ireland (Republic) planned, wouldn't want to find myself on the wrong side of the law!

    None whatsoever, ordinarily.

    The IoM issues its own number plates for cars registered there. Anyone permanently moving a car there is supposed to re-register it locally- like most other countries.

    This is Mrs Draft’s car, registered to her UK address, which visits the Isle of Man quite often and attracts disproportionate attention from the local police and port authority. The reasons for this may form the subject of a thread in a certain Bear Pit at some future time. Let’s just say I have to be careful not to step on the cracks in the pavement on that island.

    Sounds like an interesting future read in the Bear Pit then

    If you’re not overly bothered, ones with ‘odd’ letters are a lot cheaper. Something like 3ATD would sell for much more that 3VXV or something as it’s less likely to be somebody’s initials.

    This, when I last bought part of the sales pitch was the number of people (demographically) who's initials matched the plate.

    It is worth looking at DVLA site for upcoming auctions, timed and live.

    Some registrations sold are bargains whilst others are head scratchers. If two people want the same registration, the price can be sky high.

    I've never had an issue with a private registration.

    Check eBay
    You’ll be surprised at the amount of time some sellers have gone to in the way of mocking up names etc with the numbers and letters

    Mine is J99HN C

    I’m v v happy and have had it for about 15 years I reckon

    Thanks - I've taken a look at the next set and nothing's particularly of interest, but worth keeping an eye out.

    Nice - I immediately thought of this!

    It's a bit vain, but I think I am bothered with the letters to be honest! Not overly precious, but I'd like at least some vague link to something meaningful to me. That said, if I can't do it in budget then I'm happy enough to walk away too and just keep the standard plate. Chucked an offer of £3,250 at the one I like... let's see!

    Yea makes sense, wish that info was public so it could be used both ways!

    I have always liked private plates from the days many years ago when I collected car numbers as well as went train spotting :)

    A huge benefit for me is it makes my car easier to find in large car parks as my car is grey like thousands of others and the car just looks like thousands of others (they all look the same to me), helps me in my senior years :)

    Small update. After making the offer I had a call from a friendly chap, not pushy but essentially saying they've already had a larger offer declined by the seller so they can't progress my offer unless I want to go higher that the previously rejected number.

    Interesting, could be a sales tactic to try and push the price up and instigate a sense of urgency as someone else is allegedly bidding, but equally could be totally true. I said I'd think about it.

    I had similar.

    I responded by giving them my limit for the plate (I increased my offer by a few £100's) and said I was happy to proceed at that or leave it.

    They rang me back the following morning at 08.30 saying it had been accepted. Plate was originally up for £3.5k plus fees, I got it for £2200 all in.

    I just press the boot open button on the remote and look for the tailgate lifting.

    It does have the wife’s plate on it though!

    Ooh that's a good discount. The one I went for was up at 4.2k and I offered 3.2k. I based this on similar plates on DVLA auctions, so thought it seemed reasonable.
    [Edit: in retrospect, I hadn't accounted for the 28.4% fees + £80 transfer fee on DVLA auctions, which ironically brings my 3.2k reference price up to bang on 4.2k]

    The offer that was apparently rejected was at 3.8k, so suggests there's little-to-no wiggle room in the price.

    I think they’re talking bollix.

    Typically they list at a multiple of what the actual owner will get… a few years ago a dealer offered to list and sell one of my 1 plates at £13k paid to me, when reality it cost me under £4k.

    Another dealer offered £1.5k to physically buy another 1 plate that cost me around £4k, and of course would’ve been relisted at a similar circa. £13k.

    In short, don’t be afraid to lowball. I’m all for capitalism but a lot of these companies are taking the P, the vast majority are acting as brokers and nothing more.

    That is likely the seller rather than the agency (assuming you are buying via third party).

    Some folks get over buoyant over the value of a plate and this is not helped by over optimistic valuations from aforementioned agencies.

    I would stick to your offer and maybe move to add transfer fees on top as a final offer?.

    I think I'll leave the next move with them to be honest. If they follow up then great, if not I'm sure another will come along that catches my eye.

    Have you seen the same reg listed by another broker? It isn’t uncommon to see several listings for the same number, at different asking prices.

    I can appreciate correctly spaced plates that are unusual or mean something but incorrectly spaced plates should lead to your car being crushed

    And yet some of the most expensive plates you can buy require said spacing to form the word/name.

    Yep and my comment is largely in jest, although I do think that many such plates suggest the owner's need to indicate their status; that's the very opposite of cool in my book.

    Incorrect spacing just looks desperate and sad to me. If it doesn't 'work' with correct spacing, forget it AFAIK.

    No as I spoke to the BOSS of the site - you know, the guy who runs this whole thing?
    He is ok with me - but you know how it is with people that get sooooooo upset about little dings didums
    It’s lovely to see people buying AND indeed (of course) selling to me - enjoy xxxx

    That’s correct - however the constabulary are not interested in minor indiscretions - it’s legible and easily identified
    Indeed when in receipt of points for speeding a year ago there was no mention from the friendly constable

    Times have moved on - it’s when tape and screw heads are used to obscure or change the look of a number or letter they intervene


    As many would say…. There are more important things for the police to be dealing with
    But if stopped I’d be told to go to an MOT centre and then produce docs to prove rectification at the local station which I have no issues with at all

    Do you ever do 31 in a 30? Oh dear…. You too are breaking the law

    You're gonna hate mine with a passion then!

    Did you bride him with an incredibly rare vintage bubble bath?

    I once saw Y110NNE fetch over £11k at a DVLA auction (YVONNE in case anyone is wondering). As it’s the DVLA who sold it, presumably the sloping ones are acceptable!

    Boss may think you’re legit.

    Many others think about meeting up next Tuesday.

    The recent attempted small profit sale and then return to eBay seller on a metal G was utterly shameful. You just can’t see it though.
