Is having a Dublin reg an advantage?

I'm getting a new car shortly. Does having a D (Dublin) registration over other county regs make any difference?

Hi Noel,

It really depends where you plan to sell your car on. Anecdotal evidence indicates that dealers regularly do not want cars from other counties as they are harder to sell on. However, I do wonder if that applies to Dublin cars, as, naturally, more cars are sold in Dublin than anywhere else.

Let us know if you have other worries.
