^^ the plate change situation is the same in the US, new owner = new plates. We don't have a fancy quick change though, just 4 screws.

I love the paint on that car! The white leather is an excellent look. I am sure the purple trim would grow on you.

California dosent change plates with new owners

i do love the color, in some pics it seems darker which i love. Others it looks more maroon, but if its truly a violet color then i think its a very unique color and one that suits the 928 very well. I rank it up there with Cobalt Blue and Amazon Green

You must be kidding, that color is sweet. Reminds me of Aubergine on old 911's.

Color is acquired taste. Some people love it while others hate it. Very few are neutral it seems. This is friends '92 5sp GTS in Lempäälä meet few years ago.

I like it, grey or black interior would suit it fine.

Beautiful machine!

Love the color, purple people eater! Actually, I think someone was referring to an S4 or GT as Barney at SITM a couple years ago...I'll take dove grey interior, thanks. Oh, and a lottery ticket first.

I love it, I must say if were LHD here in the UK I would consider that car. While we are on it someone mentioned 'ROW' car earlier in the thread. What does ROW stand for?

HTML Code:
plate change situation is the same in the US, 
new owner = new plates.
In Switzerland, the plates stay with the owner for life - & you can run more than 1 car on the same plate but not on the road at the same time.

There is even a mobile phone service so if somebody drives badly & upsets you then you can send the plate number & in a few seconds get the driver details - with luck including the mobile phone number so you can phone up and complain about the driving technique.

Same thing in here. Its hard to really hide ones info totally but text message service denial is just one form fillup away.
