Hey guys just wondering how the system works for cancelling a plate?
Sold the car out of province, want to make that clear to registry so I think I need to go in pay the 10 bucks get my refund and cancel the plate.
Only thing is the plate is my Vanity and I want to keep it and be able to reuse it on a future car.
Does cancelling it mean I have to give up the plate?
Just want to make sure I am doing the right steps here.
TIA
Why do you need to cancel rhe plate?
You mean cancel the registration?
You own that plate for life.
This is what I am unclear on. I’ve never not transferred my plate/reg to another car is all.Quote:

You can just go to the registry and cancel the registration on that car. I don't know if you get a refund for the remainder of the year but I doubt it.Quote:

Yep, seen it done it. Don't know how much you have left on the registration. It was barely worth my time to go to the registry and wait for the cheque to come in when I did it.
Thanks guys.
you need at least 3 months left iirc to get any money back
Hijacking: can you sell custom plates? I have UMADBRO that I don't use and someone offered me $500 for it a little while back. I was under the impression you can't sell custom plates. Is that true? I've gotten mixed answers from people at the registry.
With that plate you are almost obligated to buy a Prius or a Tesla.Quote:

I almost feel like the old six digit plates are custom. I'm keeping mine forever.
Ironically the fusion is almost certainly faster hahaQuote:

It's one of the most abysmal cars I've owned in recent years and I hate it. Thanks ex-biz partner for fucking me out of $12k and forcing me to get this hunk of crap.
I received two identical vanity plates when mine came in. Even if I had to give one back I'd still keep the unused one for mammaries.Quote:

Anyways. Yes I did receive a second plate.
^So the real question is, now that you sold your C63, what are you getting next?
I just bought a new car... give me a couple of months lol
Lol you replaced the Jeep not the C63. I suggest creating one of those 'what's next' threads - those are always fun. lolQuote:

A personalized licence plate can only be transferred:
- to an immediate family member, such as mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, spouse, common-law spouse and in-laws
- between a company and the company owner, when the person is the only owner of the company
