Selling car with private number plate.

[sandman77]

I am thinking about selling my car but only if I can get the right price for it. If I don't get what I want for it then I will just keep it. Anyway it has a private plate on it. Should I be putting this on retention before advertising the car or can I do this if and when the car sells? The problem being of course that it is likely to take a couple of weeks for a new v5 to come through.

Yes, put the plate on retention. The buyer will not want to wait for the V5

Those words usually used by "optimists" who end up not selling the car.....

Usually yes but I am pretty realistic but am not going to give the car away.
