The exact reason why I don't bother with a P/plate either.

[AccordB20A]

my plates good enough for me aswell

funny how some plates are worth more than the car itself

Yeah but some cars aren't exactly subtle either... and if your car's worth anything you're a bit silly if you register it to the address you actually live/keep the car at.... running my plate will lead crooks on a bit of a wild goose chase several hundred km downcountry

Would that not effect an insurance claim if it was to be stolen from where it is normally parked?

Edit: Back on topic.... Lol @ prices in 2002 Buy Personalised Plates

As SLOTEG said... insurance company knows EXACTLY where my car is... it's just LTNZ that doesn't. My insurance company would be a little more reluctant to give out my details than LTNZ.

That's another thing... in these days of the privacy act strangling pretty much everything when you try to use information in normal business etc, I find it RIDICULOUS that you can still go into a post shop and track someone down with nothing other than their licence plate.

I agree aye, There can be a lot of money tied up in a car and anyone can go find out where it is, then they can easily check the place out, next thing you know........ Car gone.

Can you register a car to a PO box number?

[SLOTEG]

dont even need to go to the post shop, just go to carfax and boom instant.
all the crims need to do is go to town any friday and saturday night, write your plates down and sit online that night and find out where you live

on the topic of cars and their regos there was a ctr that went on trademe from $1 reserve I think like 2 weeks ago and sold at $9800, however I was curious and did one of those $1 txt message checks and it came back as money owing on the car, feel sorry for the guy that bought it though

Did it tell you how much owing on the car.

The new owner could have given xx amount to the finance company and the rest to the owner.
