What the hell?! Why would you ever pay that much man? Seriously, even if you have the money to blow that is way too much just for a plate.
Private plates over here have always been expensive. They are also an investment. Private plates here only ever go up in value. My brother had a plate on his Gallardo, which he sold for an M6 Cab in Alpine White
, and, (by the way, this is WAY TOO much money), he paid ?62,000 for it. It was "CUL 8R" but spaced "C U L8R" (see you later). It is now up for sale for just over ?80,000... 3 years later. My brother is just stupid with his money though!

I guess over here it's a little different. We are accustomed to the prices of things, and it just seems "normal" to an extent. I didn't think that my plate was that expensive to be honest!

hold up, he paid approx $48k US dollars for the plate???
This is the plate he had... For sale at the moment at the top of the page.
Clicky!!
The plates come within a week. You get a document and then go to the vehicle registration agency (DVLA) and get the plate put to your car.
BTW, price conversion of the plate to USD
80,495.00 GBP = 117,785.93 USD
United Kingdom Pounds United States Dollars
1 GBP = 1.46327 USD 1 USD = 0.683401 GBP
