Why Are Used Cars Now Sold with License Plates?

[DiIsabel]

Plate-included sales can reduce the number of used car transfers. 1. Plate-included sales: So-called plate-included sales mean selling the car with its originally registered license plate. Some owners prefer their original plates, so even when selling their old cars, they do not transfer the license plate but let the buyer register a new one. Plate-included sales involve the license plate staying with the car, only transferring the ownership to the buyer's name. In contrast, non-plate-included sales mean the seller retains the original license plate for other vehicles, and the buyer must apply for a new one. 2. Considerations: Used cars with plates can be bought and sold, but the license plate number cannot be transferred. This means the ownership of the plate and the entire vehicle remains under the original owner's name, and the buyer only has the right to use the vehicle. Legally, the buyer's rights lack protection, so when purchasing a used car with a license plate, one must think twice before proceeding.
