Private Plates

[Skillie]

Brought my car into the Republic from the UK and now wnat to sell the private plate once its registered here. Anyone know if this is possible or the best way to do this. Its not a great plate but still would be handy to get some cash outta an otherwise useless number (P 69 WWW)

LMFAO!

To be honest it's probably more hassel than they are worth. Try ebay.

Try ebay.

there is loads on ebay but not that many get any interest,

but some internet geek may want it, or some porn web site owner.

 

[Skillie]

no if its P 69 WWW then its originally a british plate,

 

[iain]

how much are the transfer fees??

Its a Brittish plate, i'm transfering the car onto Irish Registration, just wondering can I then sell the english plate or is it gone forever due to the car now being taken off the Brittish DVLA records as such.

try to call them, its DVLNI Coleraine(I think), try yell.com, if it is already trransfered then it may well now be the property of the DVLNI.

i thought you could take it off but had to hold it on a retention certificate,

that way its effectivly on a virtual car, then you sell it on and it goes on toa proper car,

that way your free to re register ur car with an irish reg

You'll Have to sell the plate before you registar the car into the south or you'll loose it.. Another way is to put the plate onto 'Retention' until you sell it.. Not sure how this works or how much is costs... But it basically is a certificate to say you own the REG without having it on a vehicle or something.. Either way, The plate aint worth much to the english, Probley worth its most in the north, So i'd (Out of intrest) stick it in the auto trader or something...

I could have sold LLZ8604 for £69... not bad for a crappy old number...

Did you have to pay the £80 Fee aswell ? ...lol

 

[Lyons]

skillie, id say you should try newreg, regtransfers etc out of interest. there are far worse plates out there, and any moneys better than nothing

 

[Dermot]

Yeah but Lyons lad... Most reg companys dont "Buy" reg's... They just sell them for you... Like you could be waiting a year for them to get an offer on your plate!

maybe a forward slash back slash www. geek . 69 boy would want it with the initial P :roll:

 

[Skillie]

don't have any certs or anything for it, and will be registering the car in the next week. If I loose it then fair enough if not then I may scab 100 quid or someth somewhere for it. better than nothing
