  1. that is not high mileage for a 6-year old y plate, but no, it’s not worth half the asking price

    If this is an issue that it is so bothering you so much and posting in on Reddit Well Done you are Problems Free.

  3. The cost is higher because you cannot simply register a car with a Y-plate whenever you please, can only be first registration on a brand new car. Couple that with the waiting times for new cars.

    So the only way to start working in the industry with your own car (after getting the TAG) is either to buy a second-hand vehicle that is already with a a Y-plate or order a new vehicle.

    Having said that, 11K for that particular car is quite outrageous indeed. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he still finds a buyer.

  4. Same reason why an office with a class 4A permit (commercial uses) is priced higher than a regular garage.

  5. you’re buying the permit and plate not the car only.. the car is basically worthless in this deal.
