Why not re-register it when it's time to sell it...or offer the new owner to pay for new plates??? Or dont you switch plates in the UK when selling?



Plates normally stay with the car unless "personalised", in which case you can transfer it from one car to another, or even put it on "retention" on payment of an appropriate fee. You can't put a registration plate on a car that would make the car look newer than it actually is. (i.e. put a 2005 plate on a car first registered in 2004, for instance). But you can put an older plate on a new car. I currently have a personalised plate (1990 vintage) on my 2002 Ford Focus.
