Your suggestion makes a whole lot of sense...

Learnt one cool thing from op today.

A very good one.

Nice one

I agree with you my boy.

You are on point but It is VIN not plate number.

So I should engrave my NIN on my legs? This OP is not serious. Rubbish.

No

Lalasticlala sef!

GAZZUZZ:
A couple of times i have gone to do vehicle purchase inspections and seen cars with boldly written plate numbers on all glasses , car accessories like headlamps and body chromes , handles rear lights etc, even seen them on the interior accessories too. Vehicles that have their plates engraved to the body parts are actually less likely to be vandalized or stolen .

Most times i see a fantastic ride with all systems GO, but sadly because of the plate number engraved to the vehicle , the client is not interested in it. Reason being,

1. Most people want to pose with their newly acquired vehicles as freshly registered foreign used cars, different plates engraved on the car will defeat that aim.

2. The number of document they would have to be presented at a check point will include proof of legal purchase from previous owner plus all documents for present ownership. Making police checks longer then usual.

3. The cost of replacing all the engraved parts , if they do intend buying the vehicle and removing all traces of the previous plates.


In general the 2nd hand value of a car drops drastically when car is engraved.


SOLUTION. instead of engraving the plate numbers which are not a permanent feature of the vehicle , the vehicle VIN vehicle identification Number aka chassis Number should be engraved .

The VIN is a permanent feature that will always remain with vehicle, and can be easily blacklisted on the internet or in licensing authority if vehicle is stolen .


The VIN should be engraved and not the plates on a vehicle .

Gazzuz I had an ugly experience regarding this issue .The car I bought was engraved with wrong plate number . I am still battling with the matter ...The owner just fixed a plate number meant for his former car without proper documentation ...he went ahead and engraved same number on the car...when you check the plate number on the data base...it will turn out a different car ,different chassis number

Wise words
Noted.

Thought it was... till they moved the two side mirrors of my Toyota Avalon. Even after engraving they tried again but when they saw the inscribed numbers they left the mirror on the floor beside the car

a perfect option

I thought he said you could engrave the VIN but not the number plate. Aren't these two numbers two different means of identifying a vehicle?
