jjs 60 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 Looking at buying a BMW personalised euro plate from the series that BMW NZ released about two years ago, e.g BMW001 - BMW999 What do you think these are worth? Anyone got one for sale? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 Yeah thats ex dealer... seems quite dear to me. Do you think these are over priced? I was thinking under $500 That $995 price is because you're buying a euro-style personalised plate. To create your own euro plate on plates.co.nz is $799 and that's without the BMW logo on it (which costs extra still). With that in mind, the dealer is prob only making $100 bucks on each plate they sell. So, if you really want one, you may have to just stump up the cash! Or.... get a German plate with your original rego... www.germanplates.com FTW! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or.... get a German plate with your original rego... www.germanplates.com FTW! The prices from plates.co.nz are: 3 letters + 3 numbers, or 3 numbers + 3 letters = $498 - they are "Select" plates Your combo of letters etc = $699 - they are "premium plates" - and you pay an extra $100 for a Euro style plate, or if the palte has red letters. The fee for selling on Plates.co.nz is $153 PLUS 10% commission with a minimum of $135 - that $288 costs ontop of the base plate cost. Most sell for under $1000. They have allthe stats on what plated are selling at. $1000 for a select plate seems expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 When you buy a plate from private, make sure the person actually own the plate. Personalised plate ownership is separate from the vehicle ownership. Just because the plate is on a car doesn't mean the car owner owns the plate as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) When you sell a car with the personalised plate do you have to do a change of ownership for the plate also? If you are selling your car WITHOUT the plate (i.e. seller keep the plate), then you'll need to get a new plate for the car before change of ownership. From memory around $20-30 from VINZ, VTNZ, AA and the likes. If you are selling your car WITH the plate (i.e. buyer get the personlised plate), then yes. There's a form to fill in from Licensys (the government's plate manufacturer) so they'll update the record for the plate ownership. http://www.plates.co.nz/pdfs/right_to_receive_transfer.pdf Then send to: Government Plate Manufacturer (LicenSys NZ Ltd.)

greenday-rulz21 5 Report post Posted August 6, 2007 What if its not a personalized plate, just a normal one? Guessing you'd have to fill out the same form? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

perf 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 Can't re-assign government plates as far as I'm aware-Correct (as I had a pretty good one on my last car)I'm not sure if they re-assign them to the pool of 3+3 plates available after a period of time or not though? I have a 3+3 on my current car (though it's actually a premium plate, as it was purchased before they released the 3+3 idea). It's all pretty crazy, especially the prices! $700+ for a plate these days :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
