[Urban Sports]

I couldn't give M5 BMW away a while back

Surely you're not really going to do this?

Yes and don't call me Shirley.

I'm in a similar situation. I bought the car with a personal plate that the owner wants back. I presume then that I will have to pay the cash to the DVLA to have the plate removed/swapped with the original and then get reimbursed by him?

Worthless, don't bother. I couldn't give away M5 LFE.

'Cos the Arabs came, and they bought Mercedes Benzes...

It sounds like you're holding all the cards with this one.

Yes, his details go on as nominee. It totals about £105 iirc, so get the money off him first

Yeah, I will. I don't feel like forking out £105 for anyone. Thanks for the advice.

Sue, we did agree and sign the receipt to reflect the agreement. I'll text him to let him know about his obligation!!

Thanks very much all. I had hoped there might be a free way to do it (as there isn't really any good reason to change it) but maybe someone will give me a few pounds for the old plate.

Plate on the car at the moment is J??? JDT.

what are the ???'s

Wifey Has J111??? on one of her cars, so if it were 222, 666. 123, 321, 555, 888, 999, 124,125.126,127, 128,129,130,131,132,etc I might be interested.

Hmmm, with a few careful screw placements and tactical spacing i could soon have that plate reading Steve Singh.

Hold out your hand son, we've got a deal !
