I'm registering my car soon, and was wondering how long till the CAA numbers run out. What number are they on now? Apparently the WC will become mandatory, so I'm just waiting for WC to kick in, then I'll register.
 
my guess is just under 100k in total can be registered, so I'm guessing not much left

why does it matter though?
 
Well, CA lasted from 1923 to 2019, so you have a way to go

Nope. CAA is set to run out in a few months.

We set to get new plates in GP format but with WC at the end.

Apparently not like Gauteng which uses 3 groups of 2, but like the Eastern Cape pattern which uses e.g. FGH 567 EC.
 
Yip CAA will run out soon. Out of the 99 999 that can be used, I've already seen over 80 000.

John Maytham on CapeTalk says a few weeks, but I think those who can wait will do so, so it is likely to take longer. I am miffed: I did a transfer of ownership a couple of weeks ago, and I had to get CAA plates. That process cost not far off R800, not including the RWC. Later that same week they announced the change, and I will have to pay again.

Why will you have to pay again? I mean, when Gauteng changed over, they didn't force people to all get new number plates. There are lots of old cars in Gauteng still on the old number plates, no issues. So unless you want new plates so that your old car seems newer than it actually is (which doesn't count when you sell it and you have to disclose its age), there's no real point.

I heard the provincial guy being interviewed say that we would have to change within a certain period of time, and that we would have to pay, presumably at least for the plates. If you have paid for personalised plates ending in WP you won't need to change those. Time will tell...

A certain period of time is likely to be like 10 years or so, don't stress. By the time you have to change, chances are you'll have a new car so it's a moot point.

They mentioned a possible time of 9-12 months, but the proposals are now being/have been advertised in the provincial government gazette for comment. And yes, I won't rush to be an early adopter of plates with WC on them.
 
I have a car with the number plate CA444. About a year ago, I was offered R2000 for the number-plate and to sell the registration

Will the new number plate plan render all these (valuable) CA plates worthless? Several guys at the Crankhandle Club paid substantial sums for CA1000 and CA138 that I know of, and CA500 is presently for sale for R6000
