A rare car license plate number which costs as much as $188,000 – even more than the actual cost of the vehicle and Certificate of Entitlement (COE) – has been spotted on the road.<\/p>\n

Redditor @Krazyguylone posted<\/a><\/span> the image of a Proton e.MAS 7 with the number E45U on Dec 16, accompanied by the title “Tfw (the feeling when) your licence plate is worth more than the car”<\/p>\n

At its September launch, the price of the car was $175,988 for the Prime model and $179,988 for the Premium model, including the COE.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a quick check online showed that a similar licence plate number was going for $188,000.<\/p>\n

The “E” prefix has not been used in Singapore license plate numbers in more than four decades, being deployed for newly registered cars from 1972 to 1984.<\/p>\n

It was preceded by the two letter prefix SB to SY – with SA for motorcycles and I and O not used to prevent confusion with the digits 1 and 0 – and followed by the three-letter prefix still used today.<\/p>\n

‘All the superficial nonsense’<\/h3>\n

Some netizens were left unimpressed. Likening it to the lengthy queues for the Labubu plush toy, one said: “All the superficial nonsense that make them standout.”<\/p>\n

Another said: “Stupid people pay stupid price for stupid plates. It’s not even a bragging right.”<\/p>\n

Some felt that having such a number would be a disadvantage, given that such vehicles are easily identifiable. “This photo here is why I don’t want such license plates. People notice them and invariably some will take photos and post them on social media for a lark,” said one user.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, two Redditors claimed to know the owner. However, one said that he would be willing to part with the number for half a million dollars, while the other said he would not sell it even for a million.<\/p>\n

A commenter noted: “They’re not that expensive if you owned them way back and simply renewed every 10 years. there [sic] are also agents that keep these stashes and sell them the same way telco sells certain phone numbers.”<\/p>\n
