September is here, and with it comes a new registration plate - ‘75’. It’ll mean that you’ll probably start seeing a lot more 75-plate cars on the road as drivers flock to get their hands on the very latest vehicles wearing this brand-new registration. 

Here at Prestige Cars Kent, we stock an exclusive range of the very best pre-owned vehicles designed to offer a high level of finish as well as spot-on prices. How will the introduction of a new 75 plate change things, however? Let’s take a look.

Greater variety 

The introduction of a new registration plate usually equates to a boost in the number of people purchasing brand-new cars. However, what it also means is that more people trade in their vehicles, resulting in even greater variety in the second-hand market, which is just what we specialise in here at Prestige Cars Kent. 

With more people selling and trading in their vehicles, there’s more choice than ever. So if you’ve got a car bodystyle in mind or a particular engine type that you’re looking for, now is a great time to find it. 

A dip in the price of the previous registration plate

Quite often, the arrival of a new registration plate can result in a fall in the price of those vehicles wearing the previous registration plate. For this September, that means cars wearing a ‘25’ plate could see their prices falling as a result. 

That does mean it could be a great time to get a good deal on a still-new car, so speak to the team at Prestige Cars Kent to see how they can help. 

Arrival of some early low-mileage ‘75’ cars

You may start to see a trickle of ‘75’ plate cars enter the used market, too, as ex-demo and delivery-mileage cars start to go on sale. This can be a great way to get behind the wheel of a nearly new vehicle for a lot less.

If you’re really keen on having a car with the latest ‘75’ plate on it, speak to the team at Prestige Cars Kent to see what they’re able to offer.
