What Is This Nsw Number Plate Worth?

[skyline099]

Hi,

I have just gotten in to skylines so I thought I would join up here as it seems to be the best forum for Skylines in Aus, I have an R33.

I just saw a listing on a popular auction site for the NSW plate "SKYLNE" for sale

Would this be worth much? the seller reckons he was offered up to $15,000 a few years ago but has a low starting price.

What do you guys think it would be worth? is it worth going for?

Thank you in advance.

Andrew.

Hey Andrew, welcome to SAU.

A number plate like that is worth whatever you (or whoever the buyer is) are willing to pay for it. There's no way any of the rest of us can put a value on what we think it's worth.

Just remember that it will STILL cost you close to $500 a year to keep the plates in your name - it's a serious rip-off, but that's what the RTA charges. Personally, I prefer to spend my money elsewhere.

Personally i wouldnt get personalized plates,,watse of money honestly, besides, your car says "Skyline" on it anyway, why write it again?

Just my opinion, so if u really want it, go for it.

And welcome to SAU.

Thanks GoldZilla and Benzino33

I have always been in 2 minds about personal plates. They may make the car look OK but they are also way for the cops to remember your car...

I think i'm still going to bid on them, even if I just hold them. I did enquire and the RTA charge $400 per year holding fee.

I pay $90 a year for mine... lowest possible cost for a custom plate...

Still a rip

Like it has been stated before, if you think it is worth $15k, then it is worth $15k

Personally I would not buy plates that said "Skyline" for what is probably the same value of the car. I'd find someone to knock a replica plate up and chuck it on for photo shoots and track days for $100 and even then I'd probably go a Japanese style plate

Besides, as far as number plates go "Skyline" is not very imaginative. I would (and have ) get something that to the majority meant nothing but to a few select people mean something

It could certainly be worth sumfin if...

they could separate the S-K-Y far enough from the I-N-E; so you could stick your "L" plate in the middle.

Hope i just saved you $15,000.

[Wacky Dee]

I love it when people try to decipher my plate ... have had a few ask me "dude are you a doctor?" I felt like stabbing them with a syringe

what are ur plates?

To OP, plates are worth whatever the buyer is willin to pay for it....(but damn...if ur considering payin 15k for a set of plates....then come to me and ill MAKE a piece of metal with skyline written on it and charge you ONLY 1ooo K hahaha....15k is so not worth it..)

saw plates TER-10S on, wait for it, a diahatsu terios, whodathunkit?

[scathing]

It's even worse than people who put those massive banner stickers on their cars of their model/make.

Like, how many people haven't seen a Commodore before and need to see the word "HOLDEN" covering the top quarter of the windshield to figure out who makes the car?
