Yes, but get his money first He might see me on here and not show up to buy the car

I tend to agree. I think a *500POP plate was something that was really common with the early adopters but isn't so popular with people buying them now.

RobinPJ makes a good point, the whole plate thing makes it all a little ambiguous. If I liked the look of the car (I do actually) and wanted to buy it I'd probably be put off by the fact that people selling personalised reg's always tend to want zillions of pounds for them. I would perhaps put a price on it or as Robin says, chuck it in as a freebie or if you genuinely feel that it's worth something, just include it in the price or sell it separately.

Slightly off topic, does anyone remember the plonker on ebay who we all messaged who was selling a 500 and wanted something silly like 15 or 20k for an 08 500 back in late 2009 purely because it had the plate K155AHA and she was thinking that some A-ha fan would pay thousands for a plate with the name of some 80's band on it.......

This was before my time, Maxi, but I just saw the plate advertised on ebay, still on a 500, with a starting price of £695. No bidders yet mind you!

I know this is a slightly random tangent....... but the whole "We are selling this nuumber plate to pay for my childrens university fees. Will try and give them a positive start in life! " thing reminded me of this -> www.regretsy.com I will warn that very occasionally there can occasionally be some very NSFW stuff on there but it's frigging hilarious to see people posting crap (which is quite often crap which they didn't even create) and posting some sort of story about how it's to help them cure the gangrene which is eating away at uncle Gunthers knee or something...... I even saw someone selling a bucket of shells for £20 once, I **** you not. I just went on there on my phone and there's something VERY NSFW so don't click at work

Very much safe for work and indicative of the crap that you'll find on Etsy which is the site that Regretsy makes fun of.
