hi all,

i just had my private plate valued and its worth a lot more than i payed years back for it so im thinking of selling - the thing im asking is how do i go about selling it and do i have to pay any fee's? and will i be given back my original plate?

cheers

 

You will need to pu it on a retention certificate before selling.

You will be assigned another mark for the vehicle that identifies its age (this is usually the one which was removed prior to assigning the private plate in th first place, but not always). It obviously helps if it is the original plate as you will probably have the old plates kicking around somewhere and it will save you a few quid in getting new ones made up.

When you sell your plate you can assign therights to the plate to another individual by sending your retention certifcate back to the DVLA with one of the sections completed. Obviously you complete this with the details of the new owner of the plate once you have been paid.

You can try private sale, or one of these websites that trades in them, but they will want their cut of course.

Hope that helps

 

What is the plate?

 

cheers fred!

getting it valued and getting what its supposedly worth is a different ball game.

 

nice what a bonus

 

That is so, so very true
