The most expensive car numbers in the world. The most beautiful and expensive car state numbers. License plate "F1"

You are used to distinguishing license plates on the roads by color (white ones belong to mere mortals, blue ones belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, yellow ones belong to taxis, red ones belong to diplomats, black ones belong to the military), but the traffic police before you wave (or not wave) your magic wand- with a wand, distinguish numbers according to other criteria. For what? Read.

By letters

AMP97 is the main federal special series of license plates in Russia , which was replaced by the so-called flag numbers with a tricolor (with the exception of the AAAFL), so there is no need to talk about their immunity once again.

First three tens (a001 mp97 - a136 mp97) - government numbers and numbers of the Presidential Administration (former VAAFL), including license plates belong to the motor depots of the Presidential Administration, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, the State Duma and some other high departments. License plates from a137 mp97 to a201 mp97 are assigned to the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation. And the number a202 mr97, which is screwed on the BMW-740, marks the appearance on the road of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation.

30 cars drive around Russia with license plates from a370 mp97 to a400 mp97 and are used by various federal structures of a humanitarian and social nature, such as the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation and others. BUT! A 375 MP97 was for some reason assigned to the film director Mikhalkov N.S.

License plates from A 401 MP97 to A489 MP97 belong to the subject of local executive power - the governors. And that's it.

A501 MP97 - A589 MP97 assigned to the heads of the legislative bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation - the speakers of the regional councils.

A601 MP97 - A697 MP97- here is a kaleidoscope of various federal structures, such as the Ministry of Defense, Rosfinmonitoring, the State Courier Service, the Federal Drug Control Service;

Eighth decade with the abbreviation AMP belongs to the highest foreheads in the FSB, including the A698 MP97, A699 MP97 assigned to the Federals.

The ninth ten of the series of the most thieves in Russia numbers, up to A999 MP97 divided among themselves by Rosatom RF, Rossvyazokhrankultura RF, Rosaeronavigatsia RF, Rosstat RF, FFMS RF, FTS RF, FAS RF and some other departments.

ECX99/ ECX177/ ECX97- cars of the Federal Security Service and other departments close to them with state immunity, about which let's say a word below .

HKH77- de jure the series belongs to the FSB, and de facto some of the issues with this series were successfully sold.

AOO77, BOO77, MOO77, COO77 - all cars with such numbers belong to the depots of the Office of the President. But! If, with such numbers, a car with a beacon is a feld, and they have no advantages on the road.

KOO77- in the past, the plates belonged to the Constitutional Court, but after the abolition of the “flags”, the numbers of this series were hung instead of the AAKFL on cars without beacons.

EP177– about 300 issues with this series recently went to the State Duma to replace the “flag tricolors”

AMP77, BMP77, KMP77, MMP77, OMP77, TMP77 - in general, this series is for astronauts, but not so long ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began a big sale of these numbers, including to private traders. In addition, today both the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs use this series.

PMP77- The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments, the prosecutor's office and other legal executors.

AMO77- almost all cars of this series belong to the Moscow City Hall.

NAA99, TAA99, CAA99, XAA99 – numbers, by special written request (POPIZ), closed in automobile databases. Basically, they belong to the FSB and some research institutes, but cool private traders have them. Also, some of these numbers went to people who were under the witness protection program, so you can also meet them on rusty Zhiguli.

"I'm going as I please"

For several years now, the traffic police has been intending to deprive individuals of the opportunity to buy thieves' numbers on the "black market", legalizing this business through state auctions, but so far the matter has not gone further than intentions and number plates guaranteeing immunity on the roads, continue to be sold. And finding them, thanks to the Internet, is not difficult. Our correspondent also visited one of them to find out the prices.

So. Leader in the illegal number market - ННН 777 77. The price for this "handsome" is about 10 million. Rubles. And most importantly, it is available.

A number with a recognizable abbreviation is also on sale AMP77 and for him "sellers" ask 2 million wooden. And here behind so-called "SLR"(“188…188”) with the new Moscow index want “everything” 150 thousand rubles. Lucky roads under the number "777" was not available. in particular deficit and the recently introduced EEE and BBB series , which some car owners have already got.

The active operation of the “number market” in Russia is also evidenced by the fact that about a year ago bloggers developed the theme that some moneybags bought a number for themselves A777AA777 for 15 million rubles, but the State traffic inspectorate, in a "protest" against such blatant corruption on the roads, defiantly installed this license plate on the official car of the capital's Ministry of Internal Affairs - VAZ-2114.

And now the main thing. Such pleasing to the eye letters and numbers really occupy the lowest caste in the hierarchy of "marked on the road." None of the above numbers in this section guarantees its owner any priority and immunity over traffic police officers, and over other road users too. Except that evil traffic cop once again wants to stop to look at the "thieves", well, or in his pockets. These rooms are simply beautiful. And expensive. Indeed, in fact, all such numbers are de jure ordinary serial license plates of the Russian Federation, distributed to private cars according to the letter of the law. Prices with many zeros for such numbers were set by the market: private individuals and intermediaries are happy to buy them.

The average price in the Moscow market of "beautiful" license plates with three "cool numbers" – 888.100, 007, etc., is $500-$600. “Too beautiful” three-digit numbers on license plates can cost up to $1500. And in order to purchase these both cheaper and with a guarantee, it is better to contact the traffic police immediately.

But besides the market of simply beautiful numbers, there is in Russia and market of "useful" numbers , among which are often numbers of national importance assigned to high ranks. The latter simply rent out their rooms "for rent" for obscenely large sums of money. So, the above series numbers E***KH77- E***KH99 assigned FSO and popularly deciphered as "I'm going as I want" today are used by some individuals who have used "services of landlords" with Federal status for (according to rumors) $70 000 .

Series X***CH77 and 99(decipher as you wish), owned FSB, has also been repeatedly seen in use by individuals. The latter (again, according to rumors) gave about 40,000 USD for the pleasure of driving around with such numbers.

Ride on Russian roads and cars with a series S***SS77 belonging to Ministry of Communications . The traffic police, although it has the right to stop cars with such numbers, does not do this in Moscow. Asking price - $ 4000 . Similar Series S***SS99 assigned to the tax police and customs of Moscow, which are also in reverence among the employees of the State traffic inspectorate. Behind $ 3000 such numbers are available.

Series K***KK99 at first it was given to Feldsvyaz and FAPSI, but they didn’t really need it, and from that it began to diverge right and left among private traders. $ 2500.

"Blue"

The latest peep of Moscow road fashion - Expensive foreign cars, such as Mercedes W220, ML, Gelendwagen, Audi A 8, Toyota LC100, etc. in combat police coloring with lighthouse beams and blue police numbers.

The cost of the "blue number" service in Zlatoglavaya - from 20 to 40 thousand dollars. In year. And what is most interesting - everything is legal! This service is provided by the non-departmental security of the capital, rumored to have strong roots in the mayor's office. businessman just writes a statement addressed to the head of private security with a request to put guards on his property. Like, I drive jewelry in my car and thus I give my foreign car to the security service to keep watch. Today, about 300 cars with "blue" on the bumper are driving around the capital, which, however, will not stop far beyond Moscow.

Leftist of federal significance

And here he is Olympus of "marked power" on the roads – deputy federal numbers. The deputies themselves tried to ensure that, according to the law, the people's choice had the right to a whole set of license plates with a tricolor for his personal car. Like, for safety reasons. But, as a rule, deputies have enough official cars, and they also have enough immunity, and they sell their federal license plates for sums with four and even five zeros. In USD, of course. The most cunning - rent rooms for a fee 20-30 thousand USD in year.

Some more prices for some cool series of numbers that our editors managed to get:

AAA77 ≈ $4.500. In 93-94. handed out for free to everyone

AAA99 ≈ $4,000. Belong to the FSB

AAA97 ≈ $3000. On the 220th Mercedes with the number 001 belong to A.B. Pugachev, the same with the number 010 on the Lexus RX-300 - deputy. Chief of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

PMP77. A recent series assigned to the Department of Justice. Expected to be on sale soon.

KKK77, XXX99, HNN99, UUU99, EEE99 - for such numbers on the black market they ask for up to $ 1,500, but for some reason they don’t work at all, so don't be fooled.

Beautiful registration plates are traditionally considered a symbol of high status and an elegant addition to luxury cars. Many are willing to pay an amount for a number that is quite comparable to the cost of the car itself. Let's see how much the most expensive license plates in the world cost.

VIP1, Roman Abramovich

One of the most famous Russian oligarchs, Roman Abramovich, in 2006 became the owner of an exclusive British license plate - "VIP1". The acquisition cost Abramovich about half a million dollars (£285,000). A beautiful number has since been adorned by a magnificent Rolls-Royce Corniche IV Convertible. By the way, this registration plate was previously used by Pope John Paul II on his official Popemobile.

Numbers "M1" are notable for the fact that these are generally the first car numbers. They were released at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Until recently, they were assigned to a rare 1900 Mercedes-Benz, which could be seen in the English Tatton Park. But in the same 2006, the very first issues were purchased at a charity auction by entrepreneur Mike McComb for 332,000 pounds. It is known that the numbers "M1" Mike McComb presented as a gift to his son on his sixth birthday. Now he must be fourteen, but the SL63 AMG with these numbers not so long ago caught street photographers.

F1, Afzal Khan

In 2008, the British record was broken. Businessman Afzal Khan bought the F1 numbers from Essex County Council in an auction for £440,000. Before that, they were assigned to the Volvo S80 of the county chairman. The happy buyer put the sign on his Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and has since received many tempting offers. Last year, Mr Khan refused to sell F1 numbers for £6m.

facebk, tai tran

Australian Tai Tran announced an auction for Facebook numbers in 2012, for which he asked for $1,200,000. During the auction rates were not raised, but the numbers, nevertheless, were purchased. The seller shared that he was looking for buyers among businessmen and large investors, and not among ardent fans of the most popular social network. According to him, every year the price of rooms will rise by 300,000 dollars. Next in line is another auction, this time Tai Tran sells Paypal numbers (the same name is the popular payment system). For this state registration plate, the Australian hopes to earn at least a million dollars.

Numbers in the UAE

But the most expensive car numbers, of course, are sold in the capital of luxury cars - Abu Dhabi. Numbers are of particular value. So, "9" in 2008 was bought for $4,190,000, "seven" - for $4,600,000, "5" went for $6,880,000, and "1" was bought in 2008 for $14,300. The "unit" went to a certain Said Abdul Ghafur Khuri and now adorns his Pagani Zonda. All proceeds from the sale of beautiful numbers in the United Arab Emirates go to charity.

Numbers in Russia

Despite the fact that officially beautiful numbers are not yet sold in Russia (although this possibility has been increasingly discussed by legislators lately), you can still buy yourself a “prestigious” number. It is not the number itself that is for sale, but, as a rule, a car with a license plate you like. That's the whole scheme. So, the most expensive and most beautiful license plates will cost Russian buyers five million rubles. We are talking about numbers like A777AA77, numbers like O500OOO cost about three and a half million rubles. Approximately the same price category includes Moscow numbers with the AMR series.

This is a truly expensive number that appeared in the UK at the dawn of the automotive industry. This means that it was these numbers that were assigned to the very first machines that mankind invented and produced. This fact influenced the value of the sign, making it distinctive. To become its owner, you will need to pay at least half a million dollars. That's what Mike McComb did in 2006, when he bought an honorary M1 for his "swallow". Moreover, the purchase was not impulsive or spontaneous, Mike planned it ahead of time, deciding to make a nice gift for himself and for his family in honor of his son's sixth birthday.

So, the milestone of 1 million dollars has been successfully passed, but whether there will be more ... The buyer crossed the million mark, who did not regret paying 1.2 million dollars for Facebook. This is exactly what Tai Tran, the original owner of the state car number, was counting on at one time. The Australian bought the signs in the hope that in the near future he would be able to resell them at exorbitant prices - no less than a million. His aspirations were more than justified when in 2012 the rooms were nevertheless bought out.

Prices for beautiful numbers break records in Russia

Along with cars in Russia, the “beautiful” registration plates on them are growing in price - the topic of “thieves” numbers, as a measure of status, is still relevant in our country. So, one of these "cool" numbers was recently put up for sale for the amount of 15 million rubles.

However, government insignia on the black market is still a curiosity. And their prices start from 2.5 million rubles. But they are sorting it out quickly, now there is nothing in stock, they explain in a company specializing in the sale of “thieves” numbers: “In principle, there is everything except for ECX 97 of the region and AMR 97 - this is unrealistic. Of the "beautiful" numbers, we have five nines, for example. Letters are optional. The cost is 350-400 thousand.

The most expensive car numbers

What motivates car enthusiasts who want to buy expensive numbers for a car? For some, this is an excellent investment, like collection wine or precious metals, for others it is the support of a certain status, securing a position in society. Wealthy people around the world consider the purchase of "special" license plates for a car as a "reasonable" purchase, the cost of which in a few years may increase several times.

“Beautiful” or as they are also called “thieves” license plates for a car in Russia are also very expensive. Those who wish are ready to pay a tidy sum for a plate with an unusual combination of numbers and letters, although the money is not as fabulous as billionaires from England and the United Arab Emirates are ready to pay.

Where and how to buy beautiful state

1. "1" was acquired by Arab businessman Said Abdul Ghafoor Khuri for $14 million;
2. "5" and "7" belong to a resident of the UAE. The total cost of both rooms is $11.5 million;
3. FACEBK acquired Australian Resident for $1.2 million;
4. "F1" gave his car Afzal Khan for $720,000 with this number;
5. "VIP1" flaunts on Abramovich's Rolls-Royce, which cost him $465,000.

1. The most legal way is to purchase a car from the former owner, which already has such numbers. Already, many car dealerships are practicing this method, buying used cars with unique plates from the owners. After the purchase, it is necessary to re-register the car, appearing at the traffic police with the current owner, original documents.
2. Absolutely illegal is the way of buying through the traffic police. It is not subject to explanation, because. Both parties are responsible for bribes.
3. Buying rooms online is essentially the same as buying from the owner. This is a fairly common way. The owners simply create advertisements for the sale of their decals, waiting for potential buyers.

The most expensive state number on a car in Russia

Although it is impossible to officially acquire a “beautiful” car number in Russia, representatives of the portal note that the activity is carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation - we are talking about ordinary state registration plates, and the “overweight” is carried out in accordance with Russian laws - it is not the number itself that is officially sold, but the car with the registration mark you like.

As it turned out, for the most expensive "beautiful" rooms in Russia they ask for 5 million rubles. We are talking about registration plates with the following combination of letters and numbers: A777AA77, A0 ** M077, P001PP77 and A0 ** MP77. In addition, the number O500OO ** is estimated at 4.5 million rubles, the number A02 * costs 3.6 million rubles MP77, 3.5 million will cost the purchase of numbers A013MP77, A01 * MP77, A493AA77 and A0 * 0MP77.

The most expensive license plate in Moscow costs 10 million

It turned out that the owners of beautiful numbers lost their old signs before the appearance of the new series. According to bloggers, the A777AA777 number was sold for 15 million rubles. The scandal developed amid expectations that its owner would appear on the streets of Moscow. However, at the peak of the dispute, the State traffic inspectorate decided to install this number on the official car of the metropolitan police - VAZ-2114.

In Moscow, there are unofficial auctions for the sale of beautiful numbers. Individuals and legal entities buy license plates of interest from car owners and outweigh them on so-called donor cars, which are subsequently put up for sale, but for a round sum. In some cases, the amount of such "auto junk" reaches several million rubles. The State Traffic Inspectorate knows about the problem, but they cannot do anything according to the law.

10 most expensive license plates in the world

As you can see from the table, number "7" is one of the most popular and has already been sold twice. Moreover, the first record holder bought it in February 2008, selling it exactly two years later for almost twice as much. That is, the income from this investment amounted to 50% annually.

These numbers have an interesting history. The Guinness World Record-listed purchase took place at the same auction in February 2008 - car number 1 was sold for $52.2 million. Said Abdul Jaafar Khoury(Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri). His brother bought the numbers 5 and 7 in 2010, spending almost as much in total.

The most expensive car numbers

One of the most famous Russian oligarchs, Roman Abramovich, in 2006 became the owner of an exclusive British license plate - "VIP1". The acquisition cost Abramovich about half a million dollars (£285,000). A beautiful number has since been adorned by a magnificent Rolls-Royce Corniche IV Convertible. By the way, this registration plate was previously used by Pope John Paul II on his official Popemobile.

Australian Tai Tran announced an auction for Facebook numbers in 2012, for which he asked for $1,200,000. During the auction rates were not raised, but the numbers, nevertheless, were purchased. The seller shared that he was looking for buyers among businessmen and large investors, and not among ardent fans of the most popular social network. According to him, every year the price of rooms will rise by 300,000 dollars.

For this state registration plate, the Australian hopes to earn at least a million dollars.

In Moscow will sell the most expensive license plate for 10 million rubles

The most acute problem of corruption in the field of issuing numbers became in September 2013 after the release of the 777 series in Moscow. Anti-corruption activists found that the most beautiful license plates appeared on cars worth more than 3 million rubles, which suggests bribes from the traffic police.

According to Life News, law enforcement officers decided to act in such a way as to save the procedure for obtaining state numbers from corruption opportunities. According to the proposal of the traffic police inspectors, for the sale of "beautiful" license plates, it is necessary to organize special auctions.

Numbers of regions on a car in the Russian Federation

The general appearance of registration plates consists in the presence on the plate of the flag of the Russian Federation with the abbreviated name of the country - “RUS”, numbers in a numerical value, as well as letter designations. And all this is applied to the light background of the field.

Thanks to the whole system, developed a long time ago, by assigning individual numbers to each car, it is easy to register all cars, coordinate all movements in the documentation regarding any changes in the ownership of the car, as well as fix offenses and track debtors and fines.

26 Jun 2018 563

The concept of wealth and prosperity is different for each person. For some, it is enough to have a villa by the sea, while others simply need a luxurious car, assembled by hand, to be happy. There is a third category of people, though quite few. It is this group of rich people who are ready to give any money for most expensive room on the ground. This is a true hallmark of every car owner, which once again proves that its owner paid a large sum for the opportunity to “reward” his “iron friend” with a special state badge.

Tenth place - VIP1 - $465,000

The closing, tenth place, of our hit parade is given to compatriot - Roman Abramovich. It was he who became the owner of a chic car number, bought in the UK. The fact that the car belongs to a billionaire will be told by a sign with the inscription "VIP1". Almost half a million dollars had to be able to mark their "iron horse" - Rolls-Royce Corniche IV Convertible. Interestingly, before the billionaire, such a number belonged to Pope II (John Paul).

Ninth place - M1 - $540,000

This is a truly expensive number that appeared in the UK at the dawn of the automotive industry. This means that it was these numbers that were assigned to the very first machines that mankind invented and produced. This fact influenced the value of the sign, making it distinctive. To become its owner, you will need to pay at least half a million dollars. That's what Mike McComb did in 2006, when he bought an honorary M1 for his "swallow". Moreover, the purchase was not impulsive or spontaneous, Mike planned it ahead of time, deciding to make a nice gift for himself and for his family in honor of his son's sixth birthday.

Eighth place - F1 - $720,000

A decent amount of 720 thousand dollars went to buy not a yacht or a house, diamonds, but a state car number. With such an impressive amount, Afzal Khan parted, who spared no expense in order to highlight his car - the Volvo S80. However, the number bought from the Essex County Council after Afzal moved to another car - Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. And to this day, a car with such an “accessory” flaunts. Moreover, more than once the owner received quite lucrative offers from resellers who wanted to buy state signs for a “seductive” price - much higher than that which Khan himself had to pay. However, the owner does not give in to persuasion, which is why he is awarded the eighth place in the hit parade.

Seventh place - 24th - $871,000

All submitted expensive numbers in terms of cost, they cannot compete in any way with the amount that a resident of Abu Dhabi had to pay for their signs. It is noteworthy that it is the residents of hot countries who do not take into account the costs, choosing the most expensive “differences” for themselves and their cars. This was the number "24".

Sixth place - Facebk - $1,200,000

So, the milestone of 1 million dollars has been successfully passed, but whether there will be more ... The buyer crossed the million mark, who did not regret paying 1.2 million dollars for Facebook. This is exactly what Tai Tran, the original owner of the state car number, was counting on at one time. The Australian bought the signs in the hope that in the near future he would be able to resell them at exorbitant prices - no less than a million. His aspirations were more than justified when in 2012 the rooms were nevertheless bought out.

However, the “combinator” did not stop there, deciding to make money on resale further. His next acquisition was the number "Paypal", and Tai Tran also expects to sell it for no less than a million dollars. Who knows, maybe in the near future the hit parade will have to be supplemented with another super-expensive acquisition ...

Fifth place - 6 - $1,673,000

Such expensive numbers went to Hong Kong back in 1994. It was at this time that the car owner decided that his car should be radically different from others. I must say that the owner had the funds, so the car received such expensive numbers under the number "6".

Fourth place - 9 - $4,190,000

In the UAE, transport costs are not considered at all. Residents of this hot country can afford to be original. Another proof of this is the state car number “9” bought in September 2010. The owner for the right to use the sign laid out more than 4.19 million dollars!

Third place - 7 - $4,600,000

The third place of honor also belongs to a resident of the United Arab Emirates. It was he who wished to buy a unique seventh number for the car. The lucky sign will decorate the car and be inherited. This is exactly what you can do according to the laws of a hot country. Bought such an expensive "accessory" in February 2010.

Second place - $5 -6900000

Car number "5" and the previous seven belong to the same person. In all likelihood, the owner decided to assign unique numbers to all his cars. At the same time, UAE law states: purchased signs can be rearranged from one car to another, donated and inherited. Over time, the owner may even arrange an auction and sell such an expensive thing. If you are lucky, the new buyer will pay more for the number "5" than the amount that the current owner had to pay.

First place - 1 - $14211000

A resident of Abu Dhabi deservedly “climbed” to the first place. It was the Arabs who became the undisputed leaders of the hit parade. And the secret is hidden in the fact that it is profitable to buy in this country, since it is considered a profitable investment. The auction participant, where the sign was sold in 2008, was ready to pay twice the amount spent - $ 30 million so that he would get the honorary unit. However, there were no worthy competitors, therefore most expensive room for the car went to Mr. Said Abdul Ghafoor Khuri. It is his Pagani Zonda that will decorate such an expensive acquisition. And all the proceeds from the auction went to charity - to build a new hospital. And good deeds are worth that kind of money!

When buying a car, each car owner goes through the registration procedure with the traffic police, pays a state duty of 2000 rubles and receives a personal state registration plate, GRP, or a car number. Apart from the fee, you don't have to pay anything for this service. Nevertheless, the semi-legal sale of GRZ is flourishing on the Internet. The most expensive numbers for a car in Russia cost at least 3-5 million rubles.

Each number is unique and consists of three letters and numbers in one field, which indicate the series and number of the car plate. The other field contains the region code. Naturally, symmetrical beautiful combinations of symbols attract the attention of motorists. You can buy them on the Internet sites. Direct buying and selling is not allowed by Russian law, but there are ways to get around the rules.

Car enthusiasts buy beautiful numbers for various reasons. Someone wants to create the illusion of involvement in state structures. Such people choose serial numbers used by government agencies.

Some people believe in numerology. These car owners choose a number with their date of birth or "lucky" numbers, for example, with a seven.
Someone likes the symmetrical arrangement of symbols - these are lovers of "reflex cameras" and the same numbers.

All expensive rooms can be divided into several varieties. The price depends on the popularity and rarity of the combination.

Letter combinations

According to GOST, the GRZ of a car uses twelve letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, the spelling of which corresponds to the Latin alphabet. These are A, B, K, E, T, R, X, Y, M, C, H, O.

Some combinations of letters are in special demand:

1. Mirrored. Numbers in which the first and last letters are repeated. The simplest and cheapest. For example, the P600VR number from Krasnogorsk will cost you only 10 thousand rubles.
2. With words. Numbers whose letters add up to a word are much more valued: thief, tom, mouth, boor, etc. For example, the Moscow number B *** OR is sold for 300 thousand rubles.
3. The same letters. If all the letters of the number are the same, then it is listed on the license plate market for cars. Price - 15-20 thousand rubles.
4. "Thieves". Separate group. Some series of numbers are used by various government agencies. Each region uses different combinations. The most famous can be presented in the table:

There are a number of other letter combinations used by government agencies: AMR, OVE, AKP, WRC, TFR, CCC and others. Departments do not receive the entire series, some of the numbers remain for private individuals. These GRPs are often put up for sale.

Apparently, buyers like to feel their involvement in the ruling structures, although the possession of this number does not give any real advantage on the road.

Digit sets

Numbers with repeating numbers. For example, 699, 455, etc. This is a cheap type of GRZ.
Their cost starts from 10,000 rubles:

1. Mirrored. Variety of the first type. Numbers in which the first and last digits are repeated: 242, 161, etc. The cost varies within the same limits, a little more popular.
2. Multiples of a hundred. These are numbers 100, 400, 500, etc. They are considered more expensive and attractive than mirror ones, especially if the numbers match the brand of the car, for example, number 500 for the Mercedes S500. Such a number will cost more - from 15 thousand rubles.
3. Numbers where the numbers match the area code. Some regions on the GRZ are marked with a three-digit code, therefore, numbers on which the numbers match the region code are in demand.
4. Top ten. The first two digits are zeros, and the third is from 1 to 9. The combination 007 is popular. It is difficult to get such a number, the cost starts from 25 thousand rubles.
5. The same numbers. Popular with car owners. Such a car number costs from 25 thousand rubles. And for a combination of 777, you will have to pay at least 75 thousand rubles.

Separately, it is worth taking out the numbers of the “Premium” category, in which both letters and numbers match. They are less common than all the others and are, accordingly, more expensive, from 195 thousand rubles.

Where to buy expensive numbers

Buying a beautiful license plate is easy.

It can be done:

1. Directly from another car owner. If you know a person who is ready to sell his GRZ, then you can purchase a number from him through the purchase and sale of a car.
2. Through internet platforms. As a rule, the purchase method is similar to the previous one, only you communicate through an intermediary. Such sites provide legal support, so you don’t have to worry about the legality of the transaction.
3. Through a traffic police officer by giving a bribe. This is a dangerous and illegal way to which it is better not to resort.

How to buy a beautiful number

According to the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of February 12, 2000 No. GKPIOO-75, the state registration plate of the car belongs to the state and is issued to the car owner for unlimited use. Therefore, the GRZ cannot be bought or sold.

Number renewal process

Donors are cheap cars

However, there are several legitimate ways to get the number you want:

1. Acquisition of a state mark by buying and selling a car. Buy a car with the numbers you like. Numbers are removed and transferred to the traffic police for storage up to 180 days. After you get the next numbers on the purchased car and sell it back. Submit documents from your car for the replacement of the GRZ with beautiful numbers, which are stored in the REO archive. Registration of all documents will cost 10-20 thousand rubles.
2. Similar to the first method, only the buyer and seller change places. The owner of an expensive number rents it to the REO archive and receives another one. Then he buys a car from the buyer, registers it with a beautiful number and sells it back.
3. Acquisition of numbers using a donor car.
The owner of a beautiful license plate registers it on a donor car and sells it, along with beautiful license plates, to a new owner. This is followed by the procedure for handing over the numbers to the archive and re-registering them to your own car. Then the auto-donor is returned to the previous owner. Or they don't return. A cheap old car, for example, a Zhiguli, is often used as a third. This method has fewer risks from a legal point of view.

Possible problems

When buying rooms, the following difficulties may arise:

1. The risk of running into scammers. You may not be sold the original number, but a duplicate, the movement of which is illegal. It is worth checking whether the acquired GRZ is tied to the VIN code of the car.
2. The car that you put on the account must be on the move, with a fresh MOT, valid insurance. It is worth checking in advance so as not to incur unnecessary costs and not lose time.
3. The category opened in the rights must correspond to the purchased car. If you have category "B" open, then you should not use a truck or bus as a donor. There may be problems when registering a car.
4. There is a risk of losing your car. If you draw up a contract of sale without transferring money, then the buyer can appropriate the car. The use of a donor car helps to avoid this. Or is it worth doing a full deal.

Is it possible to get an expensive number for free

Purely theoretically, all series numbers are issued in the traffic police in order, and anyone can become the owner of a beautiful alphanumeric combination. In practice, this rarely happens. GRZ, which can be sold at a high price, most often employees of the above department keep for themselves, friends or relatives. Maybe even sell.

The media have repeatedly noticed that expensive numbers hang on expensive cars. For example, RIA Novosti wrote that the first number of the A001AA777 series went to the owner of a luxury Mercedes. It should not be discounted that an ordinary person, indifferent to the combination of symbols on his GRZ, is very likely to sell his number if a significant amount can be earned for it.

Will the sale of expensive numbers be made official?

The government of the Russian Federation has repeatedly raised the issue of the legal sale of beautiful numbers. In 2010, a proposal was considered to sell such numbers at open auctions. But this idea was recognized as untenable and rejected.

In 2015, an anti-corruption program was launched in Moscow. The issue of numbers is automatically regulated by the system. Attempts to interfere with the order of issuance of the GRZ are identified and punished.

In 2017-2018, the government put forward a new idea: to sell the GRP immediately when buying a car in showrooms or when registering with the traffic police. The final implementation of the idea is planned at the end of 2019 - during 2020. But it is not known whether it will be possible to acquire a “beautiful” number in this way.
Selling beautiful license plates is still illegal. To acquire the coveted combination of characters, car owners have to resort to multi-stage schemes. A lot of time and money is spent on the procedure for acquiring expensive GRPs, and there is a high risk of running into scammers.

There are no clear pricing criteria. The cost of the room is entirely determined by the appetites of the seller. This market needs legalization. It does not matter for what reason there was a demand for beautiful numbers - because of the desire to stand out from the crowd, increase one's own significance, love for numerology or aesthetics. It is important that these numbers are in demand and their sale must be regulated and controlled.
