Private plates become more affordable

Since the reduction in vat form 17.5% to 15% private plates have become more affordable for most people. Those that could claim the vat back are unaffected but normal working class drivers have benefitted. Add to this the slow market and the fact that most sellers will accept a bit less than the asking price and private number plates start to look like a good investment. Vat is due to return to 17.5% again in December and assuming that the market returns to more normal levels of sales , prices will rise again, any number bought now could be worth a bit more in 12 months time.
