The UK and Dubai may be known for the most expensive number plates, but the US has crazy-expensive plates too. These, for instance, reading ‘WALL ST’, went up on eBay a few weeks ago but nobody wanted them.
The lack of interest is surprising because the NY plates also came with a 2002 Mercedes S430 bolted to the back of them. The seller wanted $12,000 for the whole package and given that he was also throwing in the car and the unique plates, it sounds like a pretty fair deal.
The car’s done nearly 90,000 miles, but it’s a one-owner S-Class – how bad can it be?
Bloomberg has a video on this story, but it was released before the day of the auction, and at the time they certainly made it sound like many people were going to be interested.
