Selling personalized plate

thelawnet

So I bought a plate a few years ago I think it was £399, and it clearly spells out my wife's name..... Anyway we are getting divorced, selling the car and there are immediately two options:

1) leave it on the car for the new seller and be done with it
2) transfer it onto a certificate in which case it's £80 and the ex can keep it (don't want to use it now, maybe in the future) or we can try and sell it

I don't think there's a lot of demand for the plate as it's a foreign name and not even common there.... So I assume it's worthless, except to my wife?

It's in the format Y4 ABC

I'd show an amicable front and choose no 2

I'd leave it on the car if she's not bothered about keeping it.

Once it's on retention, you can hand it back to DVLA and get the £80 back, if you want.

Or just leave it on the car.

You could always list it on Gumtree and see if you get any takers before selling the car.
