So if you order the ioniq 6 now..you get the newer facelift version? Looks good on the outside for sure.
I have the Skoda Elroq and delighted with it..otherwise may have requested a test drive on the new ioniq.
Ditto – just gave the dealer my number plate and he did all the rest. Plus charged £85 (I think). As it was my first time to move personalised number plate from one Motability vehicle to another, I was concerned he won’t be able to do until I will return the old one, but the dealer advised it is legal to have two cars with the same number plate in this instance.[/quote]
I think you can do it online now from motability account..remove personalised number plate..i am not sure if this generates a new retention certificate or perhaps it links to DVLA to pay the £80 fee then hand new retention certificate to dealer to transfer on to new motability car…apologies if i got that wrong.
If multiple different sellers have the plate I would imagine it’s still available with the DVLA and they are just trying to resell. Check this section of the DVLA website to be sure it’s not there and you’re not being overcharged. https://dvlaregistrations.dvla.gov.uk/nifixed/
Thanks for info…the plate is not registered on DVLA…it is on about 3 reseller sites
Thank you for the helpful replies…the n.irish plate i am thinking of getting is from a reseller website not directly with DVLA. It is listed slightly cheaper with a local company as they say it is their stock but i wanted to pay slightly more for it from another company as had bad experience with this particular company and wanted to avoid them if at all possible. The difference is about a tenner so i feel it is worth it.
Is the process straight forward at the end of lease to keep the personalised plates / transfer on to a new motability car…i am guessing i just pay the £80 fee again or whatever the fee is at that point.
Thanks for the replies…i have not bought the plate yet..i am just weighing it up as would hate for it to cause a delay again when collecting my new car. The plate is on a retention certificate..it is a matter of adding my name if i plan to go ahead with purchase ..it is my sons car…i am the only driver. Did anyone who has gone through this process confirm they had to wait a week or 2 for DVLA to add the nominee to certificate? Seems a bit outdated to do that by snail mail in 2025.
