Have just been told my bulid date for my new 2012 GS is 2nd January, and collection at the end of January should I tell the dealer to wait and register on the !st March for the new reg or wont it affect the value when it comes to selling it in 3 years.

Thinks it's the year (especially MY) that makes the difference

But the plate will be 61 rather than 12 and it still makes a difference Pot Noodle Challenge Winner 2011

I've had my own plate since '99 - so a bit out of touch - but given the wait of 'only' 4 weeks if it drops a few quid - worth a wait

I could have had mine 1st week of feb, but I chose to wait til March to register it. So I have an 07 instead of a 56. so it feels newer and that will reflect in it's resale value in the future comparing 56 to 07

I've decided to wait for a March registration for the same reasons, plus it gives me more time to save up!! 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto
