How much would you be willing to pay for a single number plate?
When I think about all the different things I could spend my money on, a car number plate does not appear at the top of my list. It's one of those things I have because it's required. I certainly would be forking out in excess of $1million (AUD) for the "right to display" a single digit number plate. $1 million (AUD) is what the number plate with "6" is expected to fetch at the Shannons auction at the Sydney International Motorshow.
$1 million for a number plate! Lets put that into perspective, you could buy a single number plate you could instead buy:
- over 15 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X's;
- around 2,000 Xbox 360's;
- over 3,500 copies of today's deal from DealDotCom
; - 2,000,000 fifty cent cones from McDonalds.
I know what I'd rather do with the money, but what about you? How much would you be willing to spend on a "special" numberplate?

Be nice. Keep it clean. Stay on topic. No spam.
only the rich would buy one …. hey why not, if you got the money. i would
Hmm… I would pay more than a few hundred dollars, even if I had a billion dollars.
Having the number would ensure your ranking as the only one with that plate. Hmmm, seems a little pricey for me…lol
I can’t believe people pay that sort of money for number plates, do you reckon that people buy them just to show everyone on the road that they have money? Whenever I see cars with private plates on I always think they are just trying to impress everybody else, not their wallet though hey..
I have to admit, I love cars, but whenever I see a personalised plate I just assume the person is a bit of a tosser.
Wow that is a heap of money for a number plate. I love the way you put it into perspective with the xbox’s and ince creams
