Looking at getting meself a new plate.
Which would you choose out of these:
VW55 DUB
MK55 DUB
X3 DUB
MK55 TAZ
Taz is what im known as locally but i like the V-Dub :cool:
-
MK55 DUB :afro:
-
Dub plate will be pricey!. Taz plates are quite cheap in comparison.If its a plate your gonna keep, go with the one that you will always relate too. ie, dub plate is no meaning if you ever left the brand.
-
Phil,
All those plates listed above are under £500 :smiley:
I like the DUB plates because they relate to the car. The bad thing is "Z" is not available on the old style plates :cry:
-
£500 is alot of dosh, you can do alot with that!. i spent £250 for mine, means bugger all to anyone else but has meaning to My darling wife and I.
-
waste of money, seriously, you'll be bored of it in a few years, use the money for something more exciting!
-
I have to say I dont always agree with plates being a waste of money. I paid ALOT of dosh for mine and I'm very confident it will probably double in value over the next 5-10 years... so over the long term I am convinced its quite a good investment, bearing in mind there is no capital gains to be paid :wink:
In the mean time i get to enjoy it :grin:
-
Its gotta be X3 DUB, that is quite a cool plate :smiley:
-
VW55 DUB
I paid £699 for VW05 RED on my red one and still love it after 30 months.
-
I paid £0 for mine as the previous owner swapped his GTI for an evo and left VW 05 DSG on the GTI, I then had it transferred onto my ed30, recently had the reg valued at £1250!!!!! :shocked:
-
telboy - That's a very cool plate! I'm occasionally in the Bournemouth area and will look out for you. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: - Five Star Cool :smiley:
-
OK a few good arguments, but as there are so many out there now, thanks to the DVLA's marketing, the exclusivity isn't like it used to be.
Also telboy you might of had a value of £1250, but I'd like to see you sell it for that, as every year two versions of that plate, albeit with different numbers are issued, so unless someone likes 05, I cant see it holding its value, if you can find a buyer, sell it!!!!
-
In fairness though you aren't allowed to make your car look newer than it is, so none of the 05 or 55 regd cars can buy VW06DSG.
-
id like J05 EPH or JO53 PH but would cost alot!!!
my dad has 911 MH, and his other is 38 MH which he baught for 800 pounds 10 years ago and is worth about 20,000 now :drool:
-
they ARE nice plates, as they are dateless and worth a LOT more and worth investing in, well 10 years ago anyway...
Honest to god, my Dad had a motorbike with "WOT 911" on 20 years ago, but never changed it over in 1987 when the DVLA tightened up reg transfers...

Don't understand private plates myself. Not saying anything about them but just don't know what they 'mean'. You don't have a personalised bank account or national insurance number or anything! :huh:

You never forget your reg no once it's a private one :cool:
-
neither does the plod, its like a tattoo!
-
have to say I love the 3 letters 3 numbers dateless plates , but dont see the point in anything else.
but thats just imho , only issue is that they are usually £1500+ for anything good
-

....And if you're driving properly that can be a good thing!

....If the private plate is a tribute to your car, it gives your car an individual identity rather than being anonymous gobblygook. Some plates are a 'tribute' to the owner's ego and I don't see anything wrong with that if the spacing etc is all legal. Altered plates are very tacky and/or chavvy imo.
I DO have personalised bank cards, as it happens.

Red, cheers, I think we'll both be able to spot each other a mile off, :grin: :grin: Like you say later on in this thread, will keep an eye out in Bournemouth for the red devil gti as it were :cool:
Quite like your car & private plate too mate, very :cool:!

Appreciate your comments although I paid £0 for it originally so anything like £500+ sounds cool to me, I have seen other version of vw xx dsg going for £750+ so who knows :laugh:
-
i like the V5 plate, same as mine v5 sns. you have good taste! :wink:
-
I have a private plate on mine, but have done with all my cars. To 1st post I like VW55 DUB

No, but there should be plenty of TAZ plates available as it is an Irish plate. It would read something like TAZ **** where there *'s are numbers. An old next door neighbour had TAZ 5512 or something similar.
I have a private plate on my car with my initials on. I would never get a car-related plate though in case I ever buy something different. Luckily my boyfriends surname starts with the same initial so if (!) we ever get mnarried I won't have to buy a new plate!
