Wink buying a car with northern ireland plates on??
Am thinking of buying a 325i e30 sport but its registered with northern ireland plates on, should this be a concern??? is there a cheap way round re-registering it??? or should i just not worry and go ahead??? your thoughts please people.

Doesn't need anything doing at all
Buy it, drive it.....

Think of all the cheapo private plates you see around, BAZ, OIL, FAZ etc etc... they're all Irish.

No issue at all, my alfa came with a NI plate on, sold it for Ł310 and reverted to age related plate!
