Personalised plate valuation

[madrob6]

I was wondering how much the plate on my 944 was worth, it's just an Irish plate so nothing special but I'm not particularly bothered about having it so was just wondering if it was worth anything and if there was a nice knowledgeable PHer on the subject who could give me a rough idea?

Also does it cost anything to have a new standard reg assigned, I assume this is just a case of giving the DVLA a bell?

Irish number plates can't be transferred.

Worthless.

ETA : £50 to re register it on UK plates?

i'm pretty sure a normal new reg plate costs £50

I thought that was only if the car was originally registered in Ireland with that plate?

[RB26DETT]

When a car is first registered or when its re-registered, its assigned a plate with the year , county , and number For E.G 02 C 80765 02 being the year C being the county (Cork) and it being the 80765 car to be registered in that year.

Impossible to transfer.

Im Irish BTW

I suspect it's not an '94 D 12435' plate, but rather an old Northern plate like KDZ1433 or similar?

Could OP confirm the plate ?

Thats a Northern plate so not really sure.

But probably worthless all the same.
Can anyone clarify this ??

£99 if you could find a buyer.

[madrob6]

Ooh the possibilities!

Sod that then, was worth a shot. Thanks chaps.

Hmm, does that make 'UK 5151' an Irish plate too?

I didn't think it was (and was hoping it was valuable) but am now worried it's worthless!

Northern Irish ones are fine - I had MAZ 5869 or somthing similar on my mx5 a few years back.

Just need to find an Iain Irazmus Beale who wants a private plate

I really can't see anyone paying for that to be honest.. You can walk in and get a Fermanagh registration; which is currently IIG 0000.. If it had of been IIB 00 or IIB 0, then it might have been worth something.

That sounds like it might be a pre-letter suffix plate from the UK.

I have a MAZ xyxz plate on my Mazda that I am told it worth £400 or so, but there are loads of them about so it depends how much somebody wants your particular one. "Nice" numbers are worth more, if you have repeated numbers like mine for example.

Somebody might want it as a dateless plate to hide the age of a car but I can't see it being "worth" any more than £100.

Honestly don't see the point in it.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Sorry, I meant the OP's plate wouldn't be worth much. Reckon the above would be worth more because obviously we're in the UK, and it's 2 letters so more "exclusive". A waste of money nonetheless IMHO.

The point for me is that if I can buy a car with the plate, then sell the plate as it's pointless I get a cheaper car

Hmmm never thought of it that way.

Good point.
