Around seven years back, these number system were not regularised in my place and RTO people were making a lot of money as bribe. My dealer who dispatched me the motorcycle asked me to pay 300 rs just to avoid '8'... And i refused . When Number dispatched i got exactly this 8. Used the vehicle for 5 long years i never had any problem. Not even a single scratch in the vehicle and not any major maintenance issue too. But the problem arised when i tried to resell the bike. The resale value of the bike is around 20,000 /- but people avoided due to number '8'. I had to discount 2000 rs just for this.

Though I dont believe this number '8' as unlucky but in some case it may bring down your resale value marginally.... Similarly no '9' and fancy numbers may push up your resale value marginally ... Gud Luck
