Will Poon Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Sorry to bring this thread up again. I've seen a plate that I'm interested in, the company that's selling it wants £2k plus fees does any one know if there's much room for negotiations in these matters ?

Its only worth what someone will pay............ I have only bought from DVLA direct they are cheapest so check it isnt on their website first, a lot of brokers list the DVLA stock + Fee and VAT.

robbiep Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Sorry to bring this thread up again. I've seen a plate that I'm interested in, the company that's selling it wants £2k plus fees does any one know if there's much room for negotiations in these matters ? You can only ask - a lot of these companies don't own the plates they've got for sale, they are selling on commision for the owners - either that, or they're unissued plates, they've got a price off DVLA and are adding 30-50% to that, and hoping you'll not check DVLA before buying off them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Thanks HDAV and Rob, the plate is definately the company's. It's been for sale for some time well over a year, I'll give them a ring tomorrow and see if they play ball. ( don't mean to be rude but please don't ask the plate number on a public forum ) Edited June 8, 2014 by Willpoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munzy Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks HDAV and Rob, the plate is definately the company's. It's been for sale for some time well over a year, I'll give them a ring tomorrow and see if they play ball... Worth saying "I'm interested in a few different ones but all comes down to price and so I'll buy the best value", so as to hide any real desire for a specific plate which they'll use to keep the price of it up. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following week I did another search and by good fortune did it through DVLA's website and it was less than half the price so bought it on the spot, the first quote I now know were vermin chancers helping themselves to thousands of pounds by catching the unwary. A while ago I also tried to buy a 61 plate combination and was quoted crazy figures but eventually bought it through DVLA 3 minutes after they were released saving myself enough for a Beretta !

norfolk dumpling Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Wife has a GIL**** which was bought for Mothering Sunday 20+ years ago - worst investment ever but she loves it to death and know we will never ever sell it. Been on 11cars, costs £80-105 a pop plus plates so it must be an emmotional not a financial purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
