Terengganu’s State Road and Transport Department director Fauzi Harun revealed that the number plate TAN1 was sold for a staggering RM200,000 last year, making it the highest paid number plate in Malaysia so far. Tan is a very common surname among the Terengganu Chinese-Hokkien.
I am a Tan as well, and my hometown is a little town in Terengganu. It’s obvious the wealthy Tan that managed to clinch this number plate wants to be the best of all Tans, number one! To celebrate getting the TAN1 number plate, he should go TANI. Okay, that was lame. But it’s amazing how much money someone will pay for what’s basically a number to identify your car.
On a side note, there is a positive UK review of the Satria Neo here.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.

RM200k for a number is ABSOLUTELY….STUUU….PIDDDDDDD!
TAN1 = PERTANI?
Just goes to show that some people have a little too much money on their hands.
200K – I'd buy myself a nice cool Condo.
Having a nice number and a half decent luxo cruiser does have its advantages.
I recall one incident being ushered around by police having mistaken us as VVIPs. Rather silly, but it does happen. Besides…. when is the last time you heard of the police stopping you for having too dark tinted windows if you have a nice number on a S-class..yes, even an older one?
normal lah,
when it is make-tune by
BRITISH IMperial LOTUS",
OK!
if make by PROTON 100%, (waja, wira…)
review is SUCK!:

p/s the guy who bought the RM200K number stay in rm10 million mansion, so appropriate la, not blaming both of you just that the economy cake not wisely slices.
Satria Neo is making a comeback for Proton.
Now, where's the GTI version?
they want to show how rich they are! think Glamourous, kah?
guess what STU910 means ?
'Generally a great effort from Proton and Lotus, but oh dear, those alloys and the name!' From: Mike Wiggins, 58, retired engineer, Tadcaster, Yorkshire. LOL! I really hate those alloys rims.. Really louzy design. Come man! Where is the GTI version? And VW faster bought that damn P1 from those noob Malays wasting our money.. Cheers to satria neo..

lmao yeaaa I spotted that one too same Accord, but in Putrajaya!
Datuk title don't mean he got a better brain than us.PEN15….what a shame Datuk…
"TAH 1", yup saw it on Beemer near TTDI… wonder why he choose that plate… saw this "MAT 1" on a black crv near Sunway bridge last year, maybe he choose that to remind himself about the afterlife LOL… i think the coolest number plate i ever seen is this "MAF 14" :)
also just saw this "KAR 1" near Universiti Roundabout this morning… on a black Limousine Merc.. very kewl.. must be 'restoran mamak' owner huh?
p/s: LittleFire85… don't play with racial statement
I'm just booking the plate number,
"BUR 17"…
I'm going to sell it to the *tooot* soon. hahaha…
come on lah people..
give proton a break.
all proton need is a change, not to close shop.
I bet you guys who were very strong critising Proton will shut up when the Neo GTi comes out.
watch this space.
littlefire, what STU910 means ?
remember all the fuss about PUK 1 some year back?
why ban it if our RTD can make money out of it?
seems like registration numbers like this depends on oneself interpretation
That number was bought by a Tan Sri lah!… he is obviously the bestest Tan Sris of all…
wastin all that money on a num plate?is is satisfying ?if i wanna buy a num plate it would be below rm100……….
proton good….not bad! even posh peoples like it! not really expecting that.but proton need to .my luv of god..make a compleately new waja n so as the other old models.
i don't know about you guys but i think buying an expensive number plate are more like an investment… save for the personalisation part… seriously… a single digit or even a double digit can fetch a fairly high price in the market… think of that person who wants the TAN 1 badly in the future.. on top of that, putting a fantastic number plate on a beat up car can really call for a better bargaining power… say for example you put TAN 1 on a beat up proton saga (those squarish type), and one year later someone wants that number plate badly… so how? owner dont wanna sell the number without the car… and if he sells it he wants 350K for the car as well.. indirectly saga price have just been jacked up in value…
i dont know, i love single digit plate.. wish i could buy into one soon… my old neighbour use to have a few cars with this digit in line
WA" " 6
PE" " 8
PE" " 9
and now i know he is looking for a 7
sorry, have to leave the last alpha out…
They change car, but stick to the same registration number.
So, the number will become identity to them.
IS the promotion for saga have gone up to Rm29,999.

But when u click at the advertisement, you will get RM26,99.

"BUD 1"… hihi i know a person named Budi & he's probably want that number… LOL
the most beautiful plate number ive ever seen in KL is
T 1
RM200,000 for TAN 1 ?
I've seen M 5 on an M5. What about T 1 ? Is it more expensive?
Oh ya, it's in the record because all of those nicer and higher value numbers were given to the sultanates ….. for free, in return for…..
Couple of months ago, I saw a silver Aston Martin DB9 in PJ with the number plate…..yup…..DB9

TAHI! Lol. I saw one MAR1077 the other day; it's on a Jaguar. Must be the boss of one Mariott outlet.
I think we got good news! Proton has sign some agreement with VW yesterday at German!
PROTON Holdings Bhd and Volkswagen AG (VW) signed yesterday an agreement that turns the national car company and Europe's largest carmaker strategic partners in the highly-competitive industry.
A foreign partner in the VW's stature will help Proton raise its technical capability, develop more models and stem its declining share in the domestic market following recent move by the Government to remove protective import tariffs.
Analysts have said that such partnership would also enable VW to use Proton's state-of-the-art Tanjung Malim plant, which has significant excess capacity, to produce the German-designed cars to strengthen VW's presence in markets in this region.
Mail Money learnt that senior Proton officials were at the VW headquarters outside Hanover, Germany, for yesterday's signing ceremony.
While the content of the agreement is not immediately known, German daily Handelsblatt reported last week, citing unidentified people familiar with the Proton-VW talks, that it could pave the way for the setting up of a venture in which each company owns a 50 per cent stake.
Some analysts have even speculated that VW might replace the Mitsubishi group, which sold its stake in Proton this year after helping set it up two decades ago.
