jpaero Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Selling the car at the minute and was wondering if anyone can help with tellin me how long it takes to take the personalised plate off and change it over, obviously i would need to do this before selling the car. And if anyone knows how much it costs that would be great. Thanks David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Straight away if you go to a DVLA office and do it there, putting the plate on retention is £80 IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 £105 to put it on retention for a year. This includes transfer fee onto next car. £80 to transfer it onto another car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunmetalzgt Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Straight away if you go to a DVLA office and do it there, putting the plate on retention is £80 IIRC. local offices have stopped doing it on the spot now. a pain i know but i discovered this a month or so ago.

Stew Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I did one a month ago with no probs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zStephen Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Put my plate from my other car on retention on November 6th. I'm still waiting for the v5 to come through so I can sell the car. According to the DVLA, it can take from 4-6weeks for them to print out a new V5. The guy that has put a deposit down on my car may be waiting a while..

LRF4N Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 yea i had the same prob with mine- wouldnt do it on the spot and was told to wait 4-6 wks for the new v5 when i was sellin the merc when it came thru they messed up the details on the logbook- they decided to turn a clk into an a class 170 cdi..... but it was still a petrol a few lines below..... then when they sent it back they decided not to send me a new mot certificate... had to wait a few months before it was all sorted! they recieved a nice complaint letter for their troubles lol idiots in the dvla offices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 They won't issue a new V5 there and then, but they will remove/add a number plate on the spot, is that the general consensus? That's how it's always been when I've done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
