DVLA will give the option of 13 or 62 for new cars registered between 1st March 2013 and 31st August 2013 just in case. I can't say it would bother me but I can understand that it would bother some. from 1st September 2013 the 63 plate will be available.

From a value point of view, those on 62 plates could see a slight reduction if selling privately as people argue over dates, and the price guides will not indicate the difference. Overall I doubt we'll see any real difference as all makes and models would probably see similar percentage changes.

What is interesting in the UK is the increase in sales in January - could it be people who are superstitious are brining forward their purchases?

As to Autocar, they have a tendancy to put a fake plate on their photoshop creations that indicate a release date for a model.
