NI plates can look a little tacky with the Zs and such.

For DVLA auction, you’ll find stuff going for more reasonable money later in the auction, and by later I mean later in the alphabet. People must go home. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

Cheers for the tip Ilard, sadly don’t have the time to sit through it today, 100% sale rate do far . agree the z plates are less than ideal, but I’m too tight to spend a few hundred more. Might change once I’ve had a few beers tomorrow night, collecting the car tomorrow, should be a 12 hour round trip.

Look at the few hundred quid over the length of time you will own the car... just a few quid a month. Man maths! Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits.

I had my eye on a plate included in this week DVLA auction. Guide price was £500.00, sold for £4400!

Due to buying a new toy, am in the market for a private plate, ideally a 3 letter, 3 number or vice versa, have been registered to bid on the current DVLA auction but bidding has been an eye opener, just about every single plate going for decent money. As ever I'm looking for caviar @ fish finger money...

I have them listed on reg transfers, but will deal direct if they're of interest?

Cheers, John.

The mrtee one was looked at and still might be a goer, just fancy a short one . Looking g at the perspective of cost vs ownership time , like that, proper man maths

The only way I have found to get a good buy is to watch the private sales, preferably on auctions, on ebay. The dealers are all at dealer prices but if you can find one someone just needs one gone then occasionally there are bargains. A 3x3 with no NI Z,X and Is can be had for 500-750.
I bought a 2x3 for 1200 a couple of years a go and 2x2 will start at about 2500.
