    ah i would think there would be alot of people interested in those type plates.my uncle is trying to get 07 d 777, and there is loads of people after that number.its just what people are into.

    As I've said before, some people do go for it. For most people, though, that kind of a plate is pretty tacky. The effect is somewhat similar to that of an aftermarket body kit - it limits the car's appeal, thus making it harder to sell.

    On Guernsey, I seen a 911 Turbo with the plate "911"

    Its the best ive seen.

    S.

    most of the 911's have these plates with 911 in it.also same as ferrari.most of them have 430, 360 and now des cullen has one 06 d 4300.

    but as alan says that some people think they are tacky.but i donot believe that the car would be hard to sell because of that.if thats the case why do all exotic, performance cars eg aston martin and ferrari have these plates:rolleyes: ,.but thats his own opinion

    They don't all have them. I think you're missing the point here somewhat. It doesn't matter whether you or I love them or hate them - the fact is that a Golf with the plate 06 G71 will be harder to sell than one with a normal plate. Any dealership will factor the possibility that the car might be clogging up their forecourt for a while into their trade-in price.

    That "X1" reg will really come in handy if BMW ever release a hugely overpriced Suzuki Jimny rival based on the 1 series......

    I dont agree. A plate like that would be like an extra on the car. There is no doubt it adds to the car. If these type of plates are so bad on a car then why are personalised plated in England going for so much? Same thing. I hate cars that are done up tacky but that Golf is cool. I see it was sold today too.

    Because UK personalised plates can be sold independently of the car. Let's say I'm in the market for a GTI in the UK and I find one with the plate 06G71. I might find the plate tacky, but I can sell it to someone who likes it and still enjoy the car. Someone selling such a car in Ireland, however, has to find a buyer for his car who also likes the plate. The seller, therefore, is fishing in a far smaller pool of potential buyers.
