Woohoo, car has arrived at dealer! Just a shame I have to wait another fortnight for the 14 plate to come out... but at least I have a handover date now \o/

No come on, you don't have to wait for a 14-plate, my guess is you've chosen to

Ok mister pedantic ;-) yes, I've chosen to wait for a 14 plate. Interestingly the dealer gave me a choice of about a dozen 14 plates and has already done the registration process -- I didn't think that was possible in advance.

Not being pedantic (although I often am) ... ... ... just making an observation which you have admitted is correct.
Offering a dozen plates is pretty normal practise - well at least with some dealers, mine did exactly that - they were all crap options!

Heh yes, none of the plates were particularly inspiring, not that it's important to me... although if they'd offered me '1 AN' I may have accepted

Other than the fact it would have probably added quadruple the value to your Golf Mk7.
I have an acquaintance who has a relatively new Range Rover Sport with a 3-digit (1 number/2 letters) VRN. When he bought the RR, another customer of the RR dealership offered him enough to buy two more RR Sports which he turned down - I've seen the written offer. It's mad what people pay for permission to use a combination of letters/numbers. The third party is still trying to get my acquaintance to part with his plate, I don't know how high the offer is at present, but my friend has no intention of selling as it's been in hi family since circa 1930.

Extraordinary -- but I guess it's a commodity like anything else.
