How do you value a reg plate?
« on: 21 January 2010, 18:35:49 »
How much is a cherished transfer worth

Mine is T44LUN
My husbands name was ALUN so it is obvious to see why I kept it and why he bought it.

it's a complex world cherished plates, best thing to do, go on newreg, or elite transfers, and you can do an online valuation, but whatever they valye it at, add a bit, because that's just what they would buy it for, i paid £5,995 for mine 10 years ago, it's worth a lot more now

I've found some sites offer more for your plate than the sale price of similar plates on said site ie S1 OOF or S2 OOF so there must be a catch. Also a plate with a name is limited in value to those of that name. In all honesty i would'nt think it was worth alot..sorry.
   I bought L9 MUF for £160 plus transfer fees if that helps. Otherwise lookj on sites for plates with one or two digits different. Guy. :y

How much will you pay me? Never understood the desire to be recognised, our celebrity culture trickle down I guess. :-/

Google is your friend... Lots of free online valuation places to give you an idea but I can't do it for you as it's not registered in my name ;) ;)

As stated above, plate valuation is a somewhat crazy world.

2 years ago I paid £200 for a plate that the old lady liked, it's now worth £8,200 apparently.

There are very few private plates I care about. but I did see one recently that I really fancied.............and the car......'W1' on a Range Rover Vogue.

Obviously a Chelsea Tractor.......driven by the Duke of Westminster??............. that has never seen a field, but still was very appealing 8-) 8-) :-* :-* :D :D ;)

PS I sold the plate 1721 JW in 1972 for £15.  Does anyone on here own it now?? :D :D :D

No Cam, i'm a very sensible person, so the comment more money than sense is a bit on the offensive side, but when you think that i paid almost 6k for it 10 years ago, and the last time someone tried to buy it from me offered me nearly £20k, i'd have to say it was a good buy, but as it goes, i've always promised it to my son, so it will never be for sale.

Must confess... It's something I've toyed with a few times but would have to be a proper plate... Something like PGH 4 or the likes.

My old man treated himself to GLH 44 (or was it 44 GLH) recently for a tidy 4 figure sum but he's worked hard for it and I don't blame him. Put it on his brand new Altea, which was nearly written off about 3 months later :o :o

i agree that they're not to everyones taste, but some people like to have them and some don't, i mean i don't like morris dancing, but i'm not gonna give the guy in a funny outfit skipping around the maypole a load of grief over it, each to their own. i like my reg

Its all personal taste but for me it has to be a dateless plate so like spacekid says something you can pas down or on.

Old mans a farmer and sees a lot in old barns on cars not even running  :y

I disagree with the whole "celebrity" seeking elements to the above posts.....

The reason being is that even the luckiest of us are driving 6 yr old Omegas.....so a private plate makes sense as a way to hide the fact that our beautiful shiny Mig is actually quite old.......
