From the wiki article, that means we can no longer bid for E-series plates from LTA anymore? i.e. to say the only way to get E-series plate is to buy from a current owner of one? Secondly, cannot customise the checksum letter that I want right? Looking at the available list (https://www.onemotoring.com.sg/content/onemotoring/home/buying/upfront-vehicle-costs/vehicle-registration-number--vrn-/jcr:content/main_par/availablenumberforbi.complete.html?selectType=1&selectSeries=SMF) if let's say I wanted SMF 1 A that will not be possible right?

"S" and "E" Series can only buy from owners who are owning them now. There are dealers who are selling these plates. Depending on your budget and the alphabets / numbers you like and the availability. FYI, some are really very costly. :P I bought mine from direct owner. :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 Another way to get "S" and "E" Series is to buy used car, hopefully can get "S" and "E" Series. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually what is released is considered released. They won't re-release the series unless there are specific reasons. So far only SG series and SH series are re-release, SG was for commercial vehicles in the 60s, now re-release for LTA owned public buses. SH was for buses in the 50s to 60s, and then re-release for taxis too. Some buses like SJE buses still use SH series. For private cars, S, E, SB, SC, SF, SG, SJ, SK, SL series are considered old series, that can only find in the resale market. No, you can't choose the checksum. I think there's a formula to determine the checksum, so it's fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-driver 5th Gear July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 Another way to get "S" and "E" Series is to buy used car, hopefully can get "S" and "E" Series. Hahaha.... you think possible meh? the cost would possible be added one The E series is the unique set. Different from the all the other series. Single E is the best but can't afford. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealers saw the car with unique plate, they would have grab it n sell themselves. That is currently happening now in SgCarMart... many dealers are selling unique plates... and some are really selling at cheap... I strongly believe “S” and “E” series plates are worth more than $10k in the current market... but some with 4 digits are selling below $10k...

Maybe those really super nice and rare number, the dealers might have grab and sell themselves. But those old plate but number not say super nice, dealers might still sell the whole car with the plate. This is when buyers might grab some old plate when they buy 2nd hand car.
