13 reg

[Zed 44]

A friend said that he thinks 13 reg car sales both new and when they become second-hand will suffer for the obvious reason. Are people really like that?

I'll look forward to getting a cheap GTR in 2016 then.

Friend has just had an Evoque for her easter present with the plate AB13 WAG good luck selling that...

I believe there were discussions about the DVLA skipping the 13 reg, as some manufacturers raised concerns regarding the effect it would have on car registrations for that period.

I've had my 13 plate for 2 weeks and haven't suffered any bad luck, yet!

13 plate must be good for the special sort of fool who tries to make their plate spell words? A bit of poor spacing/screws and it's a B

You can choose to have a 62 plate instead.

I wonder how sales are going - I really haven't seen many 13 plate cars at all?

If you're that bothered by it a cheap private plate can be bought to cover it up, on the cost of a new car it's not that big an issue.
