Changing plate number. Rip off?

[kevin1982my]

I dont mind paying a reasonable service fee as the last thing i want to do during my time off is to queue up in JPJ office and stuffs.

But reasonable fee and rip off are 2 separate things. Just becareful of Q-auto in Sec14.

AB & Quill both quoted me the same amount (as mentioned by you) for the new reg number process for pre-owned/pre-reg cars..
hence dont think its only quill that is charging such rate... maybe market practice qua...
I always believe everything can nego wan.... if you accept, then deal closed....
personal experience was way-way better at quill compared to AB

My story... my AB SA quoted me 1.6k without pref number.
Since i have long off days,i go the DIY way.

1.Bought own number.(easy straight forward process.go,see at the board.pay the price-mine normal 4digits) number valid for 30days. Cost-RM210
2.Deal with motorbike shop,told them i wanted interchange without buying a motorbike.Cost about +-RM800. (this is to cover the depreciation of the bike which was registered under my name and will subsequently sold as a pre-reg unit for lesser price)
3.Went to Puspakom for interchange B2 inspection.Process took me about 3-4hrs. Cost-RM30
4.Obtained the LULUS Puspakom doc,now clear to bring the "e-daftar" registration documents of the bike,which by then kedai motor already e-register,and original vehicle reg card of your car to be interchanged. Cost - RM210
4.Voila.new reg card with your new number with a cross-reference to the old number,now at the "new bike" which will be sold as a pre-reg 0 mileage bike.

Total cost : 1.2k + some precious hours of your life.
If u don't want to do all the things i mentioned above,pay someone to do it.
I enjoyed doing mine though

When u went for B2 inspection..does it include checking the tints as well?

definitely.its part of the 10 point inspection.hence i waited for the Puspakom lulus thingy before i proceed with the tinting.

Bro 2k should be pretty standard.. That includes runner fee + changing without needing a bike to swap (they will kao Tim) + everything else.

But u still have to pay for the # of ur choice (tender)

Which is why, if I want to preserve my car plate or get even a new car plate, my next car would be an unregistered or.... simply a new unit.

By the way, this helps a lot when I have the slightest thought of changing car!

but new or unregistered unit cost much more than the RM1k - RM2k cost of changing plate.

Interchange an existing plate with a new or unregistered unit will cost around RM 400 including the puspakom B2 inspection. But both new and existing unit need to go through inspection.

and registered to the same owner.both of them.

I mean a new car cost more. eg a new 5 series may cost RM350k. a recon unregistered 07 car may cost RM200k and a used 07 ckd cost RM180k. given same year "07", normally unregistered car cost slightly more (though u can enjoy lower finance rate and register a new plate instead of changing the no plate and incur RM2k)
