In Mississippi it's a percentage of the value of the car, so it goes down each year as your car devaules.. It's also highly dependant on where you live... city or county, and which city.

I am from Michigan originally, and there its based on the weight of the car more than the value of the car. I think that's a better way to do it, because the money goes to the roads, and weight is what kills the roads.

 

I pay $65 for 2 years here in New York.. That includes a surcharge for a vanity plate.. Never thought New York would be one of the cheapest states to register a car.. I hope those jerks in Albany don't realize this..

im with steve.

you guys are getting raped out west.

 

Yes - but in some states they have a personal property tax on household. And - Arizona;s real eastate taxes are much lower than some of the states. If they dont get you one way - they get you another I guess.

 

Lets see..

$39.90 for registration
$20.00 for 'safety inspection'
(no emmisions last year.. only bi-yearly)
$228 6 months tax
$203 6 months tax

$490 just last year.. and that's EVERY year! Luckily they are depreciating my car like crazy.. so my tax bill is going down fast.

I don't know how people afford luxury cars here.. the taxes alone would kill you.

Filled up for $2.04/gal this morning too

 

can any one beat $696 lease payment? 4 year...

 

$696/month for a 4 year lease? Sorry, but that SUCKS.

I'm paying $512/month for 3 years. And that was with $0 down, no trade-in.

 

yeah I know it sucks...

I got totally screwed... (I did NOT get my car at performance nissan)...

4000 down, 696 a month for 4 years, 10500 buy out at the end of my lease...

i wonder what would happen ifone day I drove to the so called "dealer" i bought my car at and told them i wanted to trade it in..

bets on.. hahaha

 

Please use K-Y if we are giong to continue to be screwed on registration. I paid over $500 when I registered mine and that was with my $87 discount for serving my country. And this morning before I drove to california I paid 2.41 per gallon of gasoline.
To answer the question about what good are the casinio's. They are not here to really benifit the residents of NV, just the peopke that visit and play. The residents are the hired help.

 

I wouldnt mind being a craps dealer...

I hear they make decent $

I paid 5.84 for gas the other day.... but that was 100 octane...

 

Where was the Station for 100 Octane? Local I hope..

GQ_ is looking at fuel options - with his Greddy TT - In So Cal link.


Looks like Performance 103 - is available at $5.25 ibn 54 Gallon Drum. Should not have MTBE and is good for California..

Search Web for Performance 103 - and it should give you a good link.

Cheers Amy -

 

They have 92 and 100 octane at the 76 in pasadena... it is on the corner when you get off the 110...

there are a few others i jhust know where they are..

 

Perhaps the 100 octane is for helicopters - do they have a pad near the pump??

 

Wow, registration must be more in SoCal than in NorCal or something... I paid $238 which included the $25 fee for personalized plates. But Jason, at least you're making buku bucks at Performance though, right?

 

Yearly registration costs?

$38.00 in PA.

I think the Bike was $18.00

 

LOL

 

 

Still haven't answered.. is this big lump sum in Cali part of taxes on the car? Or just DMV fees.

For instance, here, you can't get your county stickers until you pay your property tax (and they still charge you $24 for the stupid sticker).. but its taxes and fees to the county.

DMV just collects simply registration and plate fees.

 

my reg fee would have been trippled if it wasnt for arnold...

so i think that answers your question?

 

Its effectivly a property tax.. just not called that. From the Cali DMV Webpage:

Thats also why you can deduct the VLF from your income taxes.

Just in Cali the DMV collects it. For instance in VA, the Counties collect it. And the rates vary by county too I think.

Our lovly government decided to repeal the car tax (got people elected) and then later decided to freeze the rollback of the tax! So now we are stuck at some partial rebate of it. Otherwise, its 4.5% of the determined value.

I don't know how people afford to have big BMWs, etc here with crap like that.
