​The value in car plates 

2019 Shannons rare number plate auction

I believe number plates are a good long term investment.  It is a good time to buy as the market has been flat for the last few years.  Cars do depreciate, so plates are another option to consider.  Do your research and you may pick up a good buy.  See links below.  

The lower the number, the taller the price, that's the golden rule in the car number plate market. 

Stepping up to the plates   
How do you know you've made it   
Small numbers equal big dollars

Duncan Ansell loves his blue SL55 sports convertible, but it's the 220 square centimetres of black steel fixed to its front bumper that gets his motor racing.

Cost of car keys 

It is a good idea to check in advance with your car manufacturer or a local key specialist, the cost of getting a new car key replacement so you have a spare set for an emergency situation. This could save you time and a lot of money in the future especially if you have an expensive european car.

Keep a spare set handy at home in a safe place for your friends or relatives to have access, and they can send the keys  by express post  to you at short notice anywhere in Australia.
