Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() You can probably ask for 1K-2K extra for the value of car that you are selling. Well, then again when you sell a car, 1K-2K usually looks insignificant which brings back to the story that a VIP number may not fetch you a higher price ![]() |

| ![]() It always happens when I am with my girlfriend. There will be some or the other car or rickshaw or Bike that passes by us with a number whose first two and last two digits are in a 1:2 ratio. For eg: 0102, 2448, 4896 and so on. The moment she locates one such number she points it out to me. Then there are the usual 1111's, 8055's 0001's and so on. I come across these number plates only when she is around with me. Strange coincidence. |

| ![]() adding my tryst with numbers..... would you believe I got 7890 without any haggling and without any extra money. I hadnt asked for any fancy numbers in the first place. So, it just came on its own as per my turn. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() another story: While in college, one guy in our group had a bike with number DL registered Yamaha having 7486 number. His room mate got a bike and without paying anything got the number 7487. That was a coincidence. |

There was this Zen in town donning TN43F1. Last edited by beejay : 13th August 2009 at 19:02. Reason: There was.. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I am watching a car (Toyota) from past few month (almost 3). This car still does not have any no plate. It belongs to some Cong Politician. The car has all accessories, except a no plate. Dont know which no is waiting for. Is the owner is waiting for some Chanda (Donation) to buy a No Plate. Can we assume this car does not require any identity... |

| ![]() i had paid 8k for getting a rolling number series for my linea and have chosen 3223 for the car. i came to know that for paying 8k they give 1000 numbers in rolling in which numbers like 3333 or 3000 or 3456 will not be given ( given only for politicians) and i am allowed to give 4 choices among which they will grant the number. If you want a particular number in TN you need to get a Govt order from secratariat and get the number alloted which might cost 20-25k including the bribe to transport minister I recently saw a i20 with number TN xx I 20 Last edited by geeash : 14th August 2009 at 00:17. |

| ![]() The prices of these numbers just keep going up! But I guess it depends from RTO to RTO. I have got 6611 3355 3334 from Pune RTO few months back for 3000rs without reciept. Got the Superb last week from Thane RTO and their pricing is way higher, I guess because demand here would be more than Pune for fancy numbers. Had to pay 5000(3000 offical reciept + 2000 bribe) for 5557 ! Double digits were costing almost double |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() there is a bigshot person (related to some famous politician in Pune) who stays near my house in Kuthrud, Pune. All his vehicles have number "700". I see a sierra (black, I am keeping an eye on it hoping he puts it on sale), c class, safari with this number. there may be more cars as well. Also the person I got my car from is very famous business men from ahmednagar with most of his cars with number 277. Many times people at different places have asked me if I am related to this person just by looking at the number on car. Last edited by the VTEC guy : 14th August 2009 at 04:52. |
