is a car worth more if a celeb owned it last?
Ive enquired about a car today, and it turns out its Peter Kay's (its him selling it) just wondered if someone would pay more when I was to sell it as he was the last owner?
any thoughts?

No, well my dad bought Michael Owens MGF a few years back, he didn't pay any more for it because it was his, and it didn't sell for that much after somebody reversed up the bonnet in their 'Range'!

If you see him, tell him to make it up with the other 2 who wrote pheonix Nights.
He might be back on the telly, funny, and not dressed as a woman.

To answer the original question though. There was a article on this at some point that was published somewhere. The answer came back as yes as long as their name is still on the V5, so basically you couldn't sell it without loosing the premium you paid.

I would have thought it would improve the car's value.

You'd also need someone to care about Peter Kay to pay the premium, having seen his standup show that may be difficult! Buy the car if its what you want at the price you're willing to pay, but dont come on here asking stupid questions about z list celebrities because i assure you no one cares

Why don't we all register our cars in famous people's name ?
I once had a car at work registered to a "sir" when I asked him about itbhe said it came back from dvla like it. When we sold it on the new owner wet themselves when they noticed it, didnt have the heart to tell them the story...lol

Just wondered if people pay a premium because of it, I'm not into the whole fame thing.
