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.

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:
