[simon k]

thinking of getting rid of my private plate K16 XUS any idea on values or any one fancy making an offer?

[Rikos]

What does that stand for as your private plate?

I'm guessing that K16 XUS spaced as K 16XUS can look a bit like K LEXUS

go on www.regtransfers.co.uk and they will value your plate, mine came back as nearly £800

I'm guessing theres a strategically placed screw on the "six" at present? ;o)

not any more after been stopped and £30 fine got the correct spacing ones back on, a guy on e bay was selling C16 XUS with a buy now price of £4500 dont think he would have got anywhere near that price for it though

Thats the trouble in trying to place a premium on the value of these type of reg's - Its illegal to space them so that they actually mean anything - and more and more people are getting stopped because of it.

A little off topic but I think the DVLA are very hypocritical in a way - They state you need correct spacing and you can be fined/lose the plate entirely etc if you mis-represent - but then they sell plates on their own site at a premium because if they were mis-spaced they would mean something......particularly plates like xx51 NGH and they obviously feel the need to place a premium on the x16 XUS series of plates - again, knowing you would have to mis-space to make it mean anything.

A private plate is only worth what someone will pay for it. You can have the plate 'RR 1' and if someone's only willing to pay a tenner, that's all it's worth. I had a plate on my old car (from the factory so pure fluke) of BL02LLX - valued at £1700 - never sold so actual value is £zero.

why are you always looking on the bright/positive side of things Keith ?

[Rikos]

I think Keiths funny .... no BS just straight and honest!

Got to respect that!

RR is my initials, so i'd give £300 for RR 1
