    I am in California and I'm looking to save some cash on base plates and I was told that I could buy some plates from an owner of a wrecked vehicle, is this true?

    I don’t think so. Companies buy plates, and transfer them all the time, within a fleet. But they can’t be sold. IRP charges fees based on prior years miles. No savings benefits, even if it were allowed.
