Selling Car & Registration Number

firefox1956

I have a 2009 Honda Jazz to sell, it looks to be worth around £5100 its not in brilliant condition but only has 14 000 miles on it.
It also has a reg number that I think would be worth around £1600.
Its not a great one R** OSS but does seen to have a reasonable value.
Am I better selling the plate on retention or selling the car & the reg ??
Any thoughts ??
TIA

Selling separately will always be better. To command more money together, you need to find someone called Ross who is buying a Jazz and wants a private numberplate.

Separately, you are looking for anyone who wants a Honda Jazz and anyone called Ross who wants a private numberplate.

My name isn't Ross. If I wanted to buy your car and you added over £1000 to the price because it says Ross on it, I would laugh and find another.

Depending on the full reg, it would appear to be worth around £500. The more expensive ones are for RO55 XXX.

I doubt the numberplate is worth £1600. Have you seen any similar ones for sale at that price?

Yes £1500........

One sold for £1500? So that person probably wont want another.

Your target customer has gone?

Advertise the plate and see what offers you get.

Out of interest, what was the full plate that sold for that much?

I did not say the plate had sold for £1500.
I have seen two for sale R27 OSS £1200 & R17 OSS £1800.
So I valued mine around those figures.

The issue is that they may never sell even if the price dropped to £250.

Unless you can find genuine sold ones then its just a made up number. I value the plate on my car at £20k because if you switch them around it makes the letters of a supercar. Admittedly they are in the wrong order otherwise i would value it at £200k.

Do i ever have a hope in selling it? oh yes "NO HOPE" not even enough to cover the £80 fee. (is it still £80?)
