700 Dollars (tax plus tags)...

They are robbing us! especially people who switch cars all the time. Well I guess it was worth it because I plan on driving this one till the wheels fall off!

wow mine were only $150 i think and $25 for the motorcycle

 

when my truck was new, back in late 2000, my license plates were $350. the renewal fee this year is going to be $100.

 

damn my registration was like $45 as far as tags the first time around....IDK the dealership "covered" it. lol, well it was financed into the purchase price i guess.

 

wow in IL its like 100 or so

 

35-40 here, depending on vehicle weight. mine is 65 because its a personalized tag. gotta show my love for my fellow firemen.

 

geeze... it was like 75ish here...

 

damn son talk about lots for a crappy plate

 

700 bones??? is that for custom plates? jeeze, for my truck it was $75 for regular plates and for custom ones its $250......

 

Wow that seems like way way to much, its only like 75 here...

 

dude you all are getting ripped off big time F**** that if I had to pay that for a custom plate.

 

mine were $80 and thats all i put down on my truck

 

Wow 25 here for 2 custom plates. however for renewing my tags is 365 bucks.

 

wow, that sucks... louisiana's is only 25-40 bucks

 

wow, new plates and tags for my 07, and new tags for our grand am thats in my name was only a little more than $200 where I used to live. Will be neat finding out what new plates in Utah will cost.

 

lol dang yall come to bama... $55 for a personalized plate, haha I think I'm geting one for this new ranger...like starting a new mark in my timeline

 

70 bucks a year, and 6.30 for a replacement set...

 

He probably had to pay the taxes along with the registration fee. That'll drive the price up there the first time you register a vehicle (atleast it does in Va). I pay $55/yr for renewal....$35 for the plate, $10 for personalized, $10 for the specialized fire dept plate.

 

My registration here is $72.50, plus tags if your not transferring you old ones. Tags are cheap, but I haven't gotten new one's for years, the last I payed was $3 for the pair when I registered a new truck about 20 years ago.

I believe some states pay sort of a property tax on their vehicles each year. The registration cost depends on the value of the vehicle.
If it were that way here, I'd stick to nothing but old junk.

Does Tennesee work that way?
Do you get charged that amount every year, or is it a one time sales tax like here?

In NJ, the title transfer forms ask the purchase price, you pay state sales tax on that amount plus the cost of tags and registration. The worst part here is insurance, I pay about $1200 for just liability on each personal vehicle and I have a perfect driving record and none of my vehicles are considered high performance. I was always told that when you get older your rates go down, but I've been waiting for that for 20+ years. I can't imagine what a new driver with any points on their licence pays here. Let alone if they drive a high risk vehicle. It's getting to the point here that car insurance and taxes are the reason a lot of people leave this state. It seems it's cheaper everywhere else.
I lived in PA for a while and paid only $200 each there about 5 years ago.

I was in NC for a while and thats the way they explained it to me.
It was a no brainer for me, and it talked me right out a the new truck I was looking at back then.
From what I have seen with most states, if you take the cost of taxes, registration and insurance they all end up pretty close on newer vehicles, but some are far cheaper when you have an older, less valuable vehicle.

Maybe those in various states can chime in with what they pay each year?

 

Fudge man, you must live in Iraq or something, I have never in my life heard of something like that being so high!!

 

Holt Crap! I think my first go around it was like 250.

 

Only $38. Would have been $148 but I get the fee waived for being in the military.

 

Last time I bought tags they were $30 + $59 for registration in Pa, about a year ago I believe.
