Private Plates

[sander swinkels 8]

Hi guys,

 

I bought a 206 GTI 180 in the UK last weekend.. Drove it home to the netherlands.. Now it has private plates, that's what us is told..

 

The guy at the rental-car-service told us that they were worth a few pound..

 

I'm searching for information, how to sell them.. What do I need if I want to sell them? Where can I sell them? And how much is it worth..

 

The plates are : "M 19 ADA"

 

And if I want to sell the car, without importing it into the Netherlands.. Do I have to sell it with plates? Or can I sell it without plates?

 

Picture:

 

 

Anyone who can help me with this??

 

Thanks.

Sander

my sister in law has a private plate for sale with one of the companies in the back of the papers, sorry can't remember which one

they take quite a cut but make you more likely to get a sale.

 

trouble is she's asking too much and won't drop the price so it's not sold.

i want a plate but its on a car at the moment, thing is aswell its on a jeep cherokee so it says when you do a dvla check :-(

essentially if you want to keep the plate and sell it on you would have to put it on retention (assuming you weren't selling it straight away)

 

Retaining a registration number

If you’re the registered keeper of a vehicle, you can apply to remove a registration number from the vehicle and hold it on a retention document (V778) for 1, 2 or 3 years.

 

You can retain the registration number in your name or someone else’s name. This costs:

 

£105 for 1 year

£130 for 2 years

£155 for 3 years

You’ll need the retention document when you want to assign the number to a vehicle again.

 

Then when you sell it you can transfer it to someones else and they pay £80 to put it on their car.

 

When you put the plate on retention your car will be assigned a new reg i believe (or maybe the original one i'm not sure)

There is some more information here you may find useful...

Best of luck.

 

M@tt, by any chance would you happen to know if I could keep my private plate on retention for a 2nd year by paying the difference, ie £25 or if it would it have to be a full £105 again??

once you have the plate on retention its £25 every year to keep it on retention. the retention includes the transfer fee so in theory it does not cost you anything when you are ready to put it on a car.

i have just put mine onto my omega shed as the £25 was due.

to the op, i wouldnt bother trying to keep that plate as its worthless unless you find someone with those initials. i had a vts plate on a xsara and put it up for £100 and no one wanted it so i left it on the car when i scrapped it.

Below is the back of the V778 (Retention certificate) all the info is on there...it is a minefield of odd complexity.

Yup, far cheaper to just transfer it to another car.

I deal with private plates daily. They are actually simple when you are used to them.

 

If you need any help shout.

 

However, it is a plate that's not worth a great deal so I would not worry.

I sold my pug other month and i put my private plate on retention for the year. I got assigned the original reg back to my car. I thought it was £105 every year to keep it on retention.

 

I have my reg for sale G20 PUG if anyone interested too haha.
