Default Number plate transfers

Iv seen a car im thinking of buying but one of the things thats putting me off is the number plate!!

Can i just ask dvla for a plate change and just pay the £80 or whatever transfer fee is or do i have to actually buy a plate to put on the car???

Put the plate you dont like on retention and the car should get its original plate back if its not been re-issued.......

Or it will get another normal age related plate......
