How much was your DMV Renewal cost?

TongMan · 06-14-2011, 10:19 AM

I just paid $508 to renew the registration on my 370z. Ouch!

theDreamer · 06-14-2011, 10:21 AM

Under 80 bucks a year.

In VA registration with my custom plates ran me around $150 for 2 years. But I pay personal property tax on the car that starts at about $1,000 the first year and then drops ever so slightly in the following years. I will likely pay around $750-850 this year in PPT.

So why did I pay so much to renew my registration? Fill me in on the loop holes.

theDreamer · 06-14-2011, 10:30 AM

Texas = cheap

c41006 · 06-14-2011, 10:31 AM

It varies from state to state.

Does my age have anything to do with it? I also have a clean driving record. No accidents, tickets, etc. What's up with DMV?

Nope, it is based on the car and state only.
Cali is a huge pain for low MPG cars and sports car.

Read your DMV bill. It should break down the fees.

TongMan · 06-14-2011, 10:41 AM

I never received a bill from DMV. I paid for the fee online at their website. Where can I get the break down fees?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it.

thats about right. my 2010 purchased new cost me over 500 for registration. the registration fees vary by state. for california at least, the governator raised our registration something like 20% before he left office in an attempt to cut the budget deficit.

my Z cost 500+, and my 2006 corolla cost me something like ~250. its ridiculous! i have friends who register their cars in other states to avoid paying the steep costs in california. (their cars were purchased out of state, and their parents still live out of state)
