Ever wonder why there's always thousands of plates for sale plate on regtransfers and places like that?
The number on my old 635 CSi is a horrid Irish one. I want rid of it. I've no time for, or interest in private plates, but as there's also one on my other car because the guy wanted to keep it, but couldn't wait to get the money, I was bored and idly looking out for a "635" registration online. I saw "A 635 ONE" advertised on a number dealers site @£1495 ono.
I asked how much to be told, he'd get back to the seller. He came back a couple of days later and said it was £1495 firm. I'm out.
Weeks later a chap phoned offering me a Highline for sale at a price to good to miss - Anyway, once we've agreed the price, he says, "Do you mind if I keep the plate?", "Not at all, just let me know when it's ready. Just out of interest, what is the plate?" "A635 ONE".
A further £300 secured the car and plate for less than the dealer wanted for the plate alone. The owner - who had had the car for two years didn't even know the plate was advertised and certainly hadn't been contacted with an enquiry.
