Number plate purchase question....

[550Hep]

I am thinking about buying the good lady a reg for her birthday (not until October) and I have found a couple I like to look of on newreg & regtransfers and had a couple of questions any help appreciated: -

1) Are the plates generally brokered for people?
2) When it says "offer" has anyone any experience of what sort of offer is acceptable?

Thanks,

Before you look at those sites i suggest you check the DVLA registrations website as newreg etc. often relist what available there

I am looking for a dateless plate 3 letters then 3 or 4 numbers job not an actual "real" plate which I am not sure that the DVLA do, unless someone can correct me.

Got well over £1000 off what mine was advertised at, (£5.5k plate)

Was that on using the "make an offer" links on the sites Simon?

Yes, it was for sale in a few places by a few dealers, but tracked down the dealer that had it and got the best price from them.
The company that has the search bit on the left side in classifieds on here.

If it's owned by Regtransfers you will be able to get 30% off at the moment. If it's not, then it is being sold on a commission basis.

The days of sellers taking whatever they can for a plate have gone, as normally they no longer need to sell. We've gone from that need, to sellers increasing their asking price recently and not accepting anything lower. We're also getting a lot of people who are doing the "won't take anything less than the asking price" option as well.

PM me the plate that you're after - I may be able to help you.
