Looking to get rid of my “Jeep JT” license plate

[Gtb]

Does anyone know if personalized plates from California can be transferred to another person?
Looks like I won’t be getting a Gladiator anytime soon and the “Jeep JT” license plates on my wrangler looks pretty stupid.

That’s such a good plate! I’m so tempted....

Ditto... but my M/T Red Rubicon JT is still a twinkle in FCA's eye.

I’m just not sure if you can transfer the plates to someone else???

Look on CA's DOT website, should be info on there if you can transfer it. If not then you'd have to get a new vanity plate and that one would be available for someone else after it gets back in the system.

If you were in Delaware, you could sell it for whatever market value would bring plus the normal transfer and yearly registration costs. A few years back, a local guy Craigslist-ed his "JEEP" custom Delaware plate and got $4K for it.

This plate would definitely be the final touch on a well built JT. That was my plan anyway.

No doubt. I think most states though, once registration of the plate expires or turned in, they get recycled for the next first come first serve.

In Delaware it is a weird situation. Us being a small state, passenger vehicle plates go fro "1" to "999999". Lower number plates and certain popular vanity plates are traded on a open market. State still owns the plate legally, but the current registered owners of a given plate can keep it for basically perpetuity. Lower the number plate, the more perceived status and social clout you have. It is a sign of old money also, especially for anything under 3 digits.

Only single digit I seen on a vehicle in Delaware was "7" and it was on the back of a high end Maserati.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. I did not know that was a thing.

Awesome plate! Looks like you can transfer to a new owner with "REG 17" on the CA DMV website.
