Im just after a bit of advice really as im breaking my car (which is now declared SORN) and im after selling the plate off it which is MIB 2255. what is the best and quickest way to sell them ? is there any reg transfer companys who buy them ? or do they just advertise them for you?

Any help appreciated cheers

 

Ebay is probably your best bet.

Hardly worth the bother for an Irish plate tho tbh, ain't looked for a while but you used to be able to get irish plates for £25 + transfer fee.

You'll need a current MOT & tax to transfer the plate as well IIRC.

£80 to transfer it, if you are putting it on retention that'll be an extra £25

 

oh well that counts me out then because ive just cashed the tax in and MOT runs out in about 2 weeks.

I had it valued by regtransfers for £500!!!

 

As long as the tax ran out less than 6 months ago you might be able to transfer it but they'll want to inspect the car, if you hurry

£500 sounds alot for an irish reg, was this a 'pay us £70 to advertise it and when it sells we pay you' arrangement

 

You can put it on retention now mate,doesn`t have to be taxed.......

 

what is retention

If you look around most MIB plates go for around £500-£1200 so id be happy to at least get a couple back for it.

They didnt ask me for any money upfront but i havnt signed anything yet

 

Has to have been taxed in the last 6 months (which his has )

If it's not taxed they may (read will in my experience ) want to inspect the vehicle.

Taken from the V778/1 sat in front of my. Got to fork out another £105 to take my plate off the bike tomorrow

 

£80 to transfer it directly to another vehicle.

£105 to put it on 'retention' which means they send you proof of entitlement which you use to transfer it to another car within 12 months.
