Damn, I am in CA, and I just got my renewal. $669 for a Touring 6 spd......


Why is it so expensive????

There goes my sways and CF lip.....

 

That's about right, the fee is 2% of your car's blue book value

 

It's another one of Davis's "screw you's". Fees were tripled to help pay for his $38 Billion deficit. Mine's $674 and includes the personalized plate charge.

 

Caused I just checked with my uncle who got his 2002 S2000 brand new in august of last year....2 months before me, and his renewal is only $200+. What the hell???

 

holy crap, 669... mine is like 124 in TN and I thought that was stupidly expensive for a sticker...

 

I think the 3x starts after 10/01/03. So any car that need renewal after that date it's about 2% of the blue book or ~3x for us new car owners...

Hope GD get recall soon so Arnold can drop this stupid fee. I'm sure he has more then enough vehicles that he doesn't want to pay the 2% blue book... imagine 2% blue book for a Hummer H1.... ~$100,000k+ x 2% = ~$2000+ for registration...

with both registration renewal and insurance renewal coming up, there goes my new wheels... I guess I'll have to stay stock for a while....

 

Georgia Registration, just got hit up for all 3 at once:
2002 S-10 162.46
2003 350Z 373.26
2003 G35c 409.91 (and it stickered for 500 less than the Z!)

 

That reminds me, Insurance is coming as well...there goes my money for the exhaust... which looks like it's gonna be a Christmas upgrade now..... Hope the Greddy exhuast will be out by then so I can have more choices to choose for an exhaust.....

 

wow that sucks... Just got my New Jersey renewal, $56.00
but we still have the highest insurance in the country....

 

$78 in IL, a little more if you have a vanity plate

glad our state only has a $4 billion deficit!

 

No wonder more people are moving out of CA.

 

Grey Davis did not raise the registration to help pay for the defecit. When the rates were rolled back there was a clause in the legislation that returned the rate to THEIR ORIGINAL amounts if the state suffered from a deficit. If you look at registration paperwork (prior to when the rates returned to normal), it states right on it that there is a fee rebate (or some such wording). The fact that Davis is being blamed for "raising" the registration fees is simply his opponents trying to blame him for as much as they can to fuel the recall election.

 

But the fact that he did implement the increase instead of cutting wasteful government spending is what bothers me. He took the easy road and screwed the public again instead of cutting costs.

 

My tag renewal is $35.58.


What a deal!!!

 

Mine's due in October and I'm guessing it'll be about $500

 

I got mine today. I thought $72. was a lot. After seeing what some of you guys are paying I guess it could be worse.

 

South Carolina $535. There go the mods for a little while. Well, maybe not. Maybe just one more little one.

 

Around $150 for my Z in Michigan. And I thought that was ridiculously expensive...

Around $110 for 98' ML320

 

Why would somebody want to go live in California? Because it's warm in the winter?...

 

1 out of 8 people live in CA, there must be a reason

35M(CA)/300M(US)=11.6% of US population in CA.
