Using retained number on second hand car

[Dpsk]

If I retained my old car plate number from my sold car for 1.3k, and now want to use it for a second-hand car i want to buy, do i still need to pay LTA 1.3k? or another sum?

 

Try looking at onemotoring.com and it is extremely confusing. Anyone know this, please help.

 

thanks.

Yes, very simple, if you wanna use that plate on a BRAND new car then pay $100. IF you wanna use it on a resale car, pay another $1.1k. Why? I dunno i question the bugger at LTA, she just smile at me and also do not understand why must pay additional $1k more, maybe they need to go thru more processes and more computing power so charge additional $1k.

 

Totally STUPID PROCESS trying to suck our money, lame.............

if a piece of paper can costs 40k(at current rates) which lasts you only 10years, you probably know the answer.

From OneMotoring website:

 

Prescribed Fees To Retain and Use A Vehicle Registration Number

The prescribed fees to retain and use a vehicle registration number are as follows:

 

(a) $100 if it is to be retained from a vehicle that is to be de-registered immediately. If the retained number is subsequently used to replace the registration number on an existing vehicle registered in the owner's name, an additional fee of $1,200 will be payable. There will be no additional fee payable if it is used to register a new vehicle; or

 

(b) $1,300 if it is to be retained from an existing vehicle. If the retained number is subsequently used to register a new vehicle in the owner's name, $1,200 will be refunded to the owner. There will be no refund if it is used to replace the vehicle registration number of an existing vehicle.

 

Your case is clearly spelt out in (b).
