Unfortunately not. Hence my plate is named " the gift that keeps on costing". I was bought it as a Christmas present almost two decades ago by the ex. The ex is gone and no longer costs me anything. The plate costs me, every time I change vehicles
Depends on the plate. Mine is worth a lot more than it has cost in transfers. However , a lot of plates are so cheap, it's not worth it . A lot of the current plates sell for around £150 but transfer is £80.
Read the .gov a little more carefully. It is not that simple.From what I can tell the plate belongs to me providing I take it off the car before I sell it but if I sell the car with the plate it becomes his. Problem is I/we can't re tax the cars until we both get our new V5's.
If we both put the orignal numbers back the same thing applies and we would need to wait for the new V5's before swapping cars. My thinking is if we swap cars his plate becomes mine and mine becomes his, we then give each other our plates back which can be done online and assign the numbers to our cars.
I will give the dvla a ring tomorrow and see if it's possible. Got to get some sleep now so good night all and thanks for the comments.
Did DVLA also tell you that the simple job of transferring them to each other will mean both go through a period of not being assigned to a vehicle? You will have to wait for the transfer to go through. So no driving your shiny newish Range Rover.@kds I don't realy want to wait a couple of weeks for my shiney new"ish" Rangy
Spoke to the DVLA and all we have to do is sell the plate with the car and when the new V5's come we just put them on retention and give them back to each other. Simples.
Whichever way you look at it, it's not simples In fact so are some of the older ones. Only reason I hang on to mine is how 'personal ' it is and how much it's worth. Getting close to being worth more than the Golden Girl
Sounds about the perfect start to Range Rover ownershipI'll keep you updated if it happens. The guy said he would be here in 20 minutes but that was nearly 2 hours ago. Hope he hasn't broke down
Pics to follow when the light reappears. There are a few niggles that I need to search on i.e. Passenger cup holder stuck in, Glove box wont open (I have tried the key in both positions), brake lights sometimes come on when you start the car until you switch the lights on, Brake warning light on which the previous owner says are the nearside front brake pads.
