Hiya Ivor,
where did you order your Captur we went to lifestyle and we picked our number plate so we know the Reg all we need now is the car Oh well suppose you cant have everything
As the dealers weren't talking discounts, I turned to the car supplying arm of an association that I'd almost forgotten I belong to, and secured a double-digit discount. I don't know from where they source the car other than it will be from a UK main dealer. However when I was enquiring about a new car a few years ago, I was told that garages now register new cars online, so they don't have a block of registration numbers like in the "good old days", from which you could choose. So far I have been fortunate enough to buy 3 new cars and I selected numbers that ended in "5" on all 3 occasions (995, 925, 305).. I just missed out on 999 the first time but the supplying garage collared that one for their demonstrator. I traded in a car with the number 225 for 995, so double-something then 5, then I've tried to stick with 5's.... maybe next year I'll be lucky enough to get a 15-plate for my own Captur whilst wife has the "14".
The way I'm buying my car, I was told I would have to accept the plate that it is given, and if I had a private plate they would not be able to arrange a transfer (so fortunately I don't have such a plate!)
