Here in Iowa your registration is based on value and the weight of the car. For the first nine (used to be 7) years it drops very little. After 9 years it starts dropping quite a bit until after about 12 years you reach a minimum of $35 per year. Also when you buy a car here, you pay a 5% road use tax on the purchase price. I paid just over $300 when I renewed last December.
