Private Reg - negotiation
Has anyone bought a private reg on Newreg.co.uk?
Reason I ask is that I have found an absolutely mint plate but am not willing to pay the asking price of £3k especially as I know it has been on the market for ages. I'm looking to pay £1800 max.
Can you ask the dealer to negotiate with the vendor? Would call them to ask but they are closed now.

Thats probably all it is worth, plate traders put an absolute fortune on top of the face value to get their cut.
Have you checked else where for it? It may be cheaper on a different site.

300 WRX
Spoke to Newreg this morning, not interested in the £1800, so I'm not bothering, i'll look for something more reasonable.
FYI it was
300 WRX
its still available and lowest offer I have had so far is £2800. You could probably knock more off but I was probably taking the p1ss with £1800.

Try looking on the DVLA website. A lot of these companies advertise plates that they don't own. You buy off them for, example, 3k. They then buy the plate off DVLA for say 2K, and make a grand profit.
There was something in one of the covernment bills to try to stop this, but don't know if any legistration has gone through.
