Default Cherished plate A8 UDT

I've recently aquired a fantastic A8 D2 which has this cherished plate assigned. As I explained to Ron when I was buying the motor I was initially intending putting my cherished plate (currently on retention) on her however I agreed with Ron that the plate is perfect for an Audi A8 I was swaying towards simply leaving the A8 UDT plate on & just keeping my plate on retention.

All would be well except SWMBO is keen to see our plate (it links to our wedding day......I know!) on the car.

I don't intend to advertise this plate elsewhere, Ron has had it valued at £700 but If any member here wishes to discuss the plate then please feel free to drop me a PM. I appreciate that I'm a newbie & haven't met any of you yet (although I fully intend to head to some of the meets) but I'm sure Ron will vouch for me as being genuine.

By the way I have already had verbal agreement from SWMBO that funds raised from the sale of the plate are reinvested in the 8 Now I just need to find something that Ron hasn't already done

Nothing special going for that plate unless you find somebody with UDT initials who wants it, plenty of A8 plates available. I would say business sale value £300-400, privately probably not worth much more then transfer fees.

Agreed!

Unless of course, Donald Trump's got a first name like Uriah or Unwin.

I bought my S8 with 'S8 VWJ' but wanted my own personal plate on it. Tried to sell it, but no interest at all, so I gave it back to the DVLA.

To be fair, the valuation was from one of those cherished plate companies and as I thought at the time, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I suppose there might be someone out there who would use one of those companies that produce non-standard plates with strange fonts and use strategic fixings to make the T resemble an I, but we'd never do that of course, being law abiding citizens

I'll check and see who quoted that price and let you know Keith. If you're keen (being told ) to get your own plate on it may be worth letting them try to sell it for you. There are more A8 owners than those on this forum and the members on here have usually already got what they want anyway.

Plate valuations are a bit like estate agents - designed to hook you into allowing them to advertise on your behalf, then they get you to drop the price once signed up when it doesn't sell.

A straight swap between cars is £80 transfer so be worth sticking it on ebay with an £80ish starting price to do a straight transfer between cars, or buyer pays the extra if they want it on retention (£120 for a year)
