I got my pre-reg from Auto Bavaria but had it's original registration changed to my own selected plate number. So on registration card it shows that I'm the first owner.

When I decided to purchase it from Auto Bavaria Glenmarie with KL registration number WB xxxxC, I told the SA that I wanted my own number under Selangor registration and then tendered the number at JPJ Padang Jawa. Once I got the number, SA introduced me to an agent at Wangsu Maju since the process to change it is less problematic at JPJ KL. The agent called me to be present at JPJ Wangsa Maju and within 30 minutes the clerk just deregistered the old number and issued a new one. Of course the agent charged me for his efforts.

Deregistered and discarded I supposed

As far as my registration card is concerned it only shows my name as the first owner. JPJ should have all the records but it does not matter. I got my preferred plate number even though I didn't have to buy a motor cycle or whatever

It's easy to get, either you tender or check with senior officer if the number you prefer is still available, could be old numbers. At one time I got a number for BML even though the running number was BNA
