Johnny Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I used to own [sPOOL] on my s15, was surprised it was avaliable at the time but when i tried to sell it; didnt even get an offer so i jst sold them with the car. another r34 gtr in my area had [GTR-01] which he bought off a torana i think....did they have a gtr model? I really would love to have the plates [JOHNNY] which i saw on a red c4 corvette 4 years ago but im sure it would fetch a pretty penny.

usmair Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 buying personalised plates are actually a pretty clever way to lower yr tax... as long as u can convince the tax man that it relates to yr business then u can claim a pretty handy deduction... lower yr tax and have some pretty cool plates pretty sure that's how all the big $$$ plates would be bought... the ones that run into the tens of thousands...u'd be absolutely stupid to pay for em out of yr out pocket Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/280388-do-people-really-pay-big-bux-for-number-plates/page/3/#findComment-4734055 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KezR33 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I bought UNR34L about 8 months ago as I was looking at getting an R34. Almost straight away I had a several offers of around $800-1000. I didn't take any because a) I thought I could get more, and b) I still wanted them for myself. Then the economic crisis arrived, and I ended up buying a Supra. Tried to sell them for months at $800, but no one was interested. Finally let them go recently for $600 as I was just stick of hanging onto them. Plates are tricky things to sell, I thought mine were unique, clever and would easily get $1500 (price I would've let them go at prior to buying the Supra). You have to find the right buyer, and that's hard. Especially in the current climate.

-Jimmy- Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Personalised HR32NA here in NSW Just ordererd it a couple of months before they took the white plates away in NSW, which I think look the nicest. Pretty self-explanatory meaning for Skyline owners/enthusiasts but doesn't mean shit all to regular drivers (which I like ) I had MI11NT (Mint) before, and just handed them back to the RTA when I got the HR32NA ones, but a couple of weeks ago my mate said to me 'you should have sold them', but it never really occured to me because I really didn't think people paid much for number plates. Afterall, it was only personalised.

DarkGT-R Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 LOL what a jackass. Typical riceboy ignorant of anything but Jap culture!Good personalised numberplates do indeed sell for large sums of money. Problem is, 90% of numberplates for sale were bought by arrogant toffees from their RTA thinking they could make a penny on being the first one to come up with it. There are some absolute shockers on eBay. Some of the worst I have seen are BL-1942 (Bruce Lee, born 1942) which was asking $5000, and LEXUAL (Lexus and sexual spliced, go figure) for $10,000. I don't see the point to numberplates that state what the car is...unless it's a very unique, not easily identifiable car (or a classic). It's just pointless when you see RED-XR6 on a car that most people with eyeballs can see is a Red XR6. My grandmother's numberplates "365" sold here in Victoria for an upper range 5 digit figure. They were on an old Mercedes worth 1/5th of that (owned from new though). LOL! Totally agree. It's always amusing to see a guy in a BMW with a plate stating the same, when it's quite obvious to even the most ignorant observer. Why pay good money to communicate a message that the badge on the back of your car already has?

DRD-00F Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 haha, me and the missus were discussing that when in the city over the weekend... we decided we either wanted the plates "NOTCAR" or something like "BIKE" just to confuse those people Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/280388-do-people-really-pay-big-bux-for-number-plates/page/3/#findComment-4736693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
