California DMV Fees Suck!

[Chili Palmer]

I was looking for a Raptor and found one in Texas, it's an 18 for $65k. $5,000 off.

I checked on the DMV site to see what the taxes in LA County would be and, Holy Crap! Almost $7 grand in taxes and fees! Some of those are total bullshit fees too. I'm sure it's only going to get worse with good ol' Newsom as governor.

 

[boatpi]

It is the voters in LA County that did that, 10.25%, most Orange County addresses are 7.75%.

 

[braindead]

So u can spend 65k on a Ford, but can't spend 7k to support illegals and firemans pensions, cheapskate

That’s not bad I pay low 4s for an 06.
They have gone up from the gas and registration tax, used to be around 360 before.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Find someone in Texas to buy it for you and then sell it to you for a $1.....

Is that even possible??....lol

Um yea.....mine is right around $400 for an 07......that's fucking 12 years old!!! Funny...I bought the thing off BigBore about a year ago......and it was about $280.

 

[Your ad here]

When I lived there. $335 for each truck. 2002 F250 and 2002 F350.

 

[bowtiejunkie]

$132 for a 48 year old Chevelle (1971), I bought in 1995 for $1000! Criminal. It was down to $43 or $49 during The Govenator's stay in Sacramento. Gotta pay for the Bullet train from Shafter to Merced ($10.6 Billion at last report). lol

 

[HALLETT BOY]

DMV fees were jacked up by Brown to cover CHP pensions....

 

[NicPaus]

All of CA went up last year thanks to brown. Went from $800 when new to $1084 last year and dropped to $1054. My 3/4 tons went up last year but not as much as the 1 ton diesels. Hopefully they continue to go down here on out.

 

[73beast]

Got a 1973 Ford F250,bought new in 11/72 forty-six years old, $202.00 for 2019...

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Robbery...

 

[HotRod82]

The DMV fees are why I won't buy a new truck even though I'd like to have one.....I refuse to pay them. I'm not buying a new Moho until we move out of Cali either. My KTM 500 is 200 bucks.....ridiculous.

 

[MohavValley]

I heard NV fees are like $50 a year, any truth to this?

 

[RitcheyRch]

An now the idiots in this state want to strart charging us for the miles we drive even though we pay that in our gas tax.

We have 4 trucks and together don’t add to that lol 2015/ 3500, 1982/ 3/4 ton, 2019 / colo, 1978 1/2 ton all 4x4

 

[Danger Dave]

How can you guys complain when you live in the state that brings Feinstein, Garcetti, Boxer, Pelosi, Brown, and Newsom to the party. That's a lot of awesome in one place.

 

[RitcheyRch]

Plus we can go snow skiing and surfing in the same day.

Down from what? $1000 to $999?
Lol.

Even so I’m curious how it is that you and Bobby are the only people in the state that pay less for HC insurance and DMV fees each year?

I have a 06 3/4 ton and a 16 3/4 ton. The 06 i paid $100 The 16 40k. Not much difference in fees and insurance is only $200 more a year on the 16. Go buy a new truck and enjoy it.

 

[SCV2RVR]

Really?

 

[Ziggy]

Taxes and fees would be the same if purchased here so you did good saving $5k on purchase price.

 

[84miller]

Yes DMV renewal fees are off the chart. I have a 2006 chevy truck, $348.00, not too bad. I only use it to go to the river and pull the boat. My planned replacement when it dies. I will buy a 1975 older truck, el camino, ranchero...old station wagon. No smog ever. You can pick a pretty good one up for 10K to 15K. Very cheap to replace engine, trans, and to have work done (most things you can do yourself). The only down side is the safety options missing (air bags and such). However will still do it. When I was working and had a pretty good commute. I drove a MGBGT I picked up for 4K, drove it for 5 years at little cost, sold it for 6.5K. Then bought a 914, and drove that for 4 years. You get more attention also, conversation starter. Note if you decide to follow this process make sure to insure it up front at an appraised value incase it is totaled.

It isn't the money, it's the point we are being robbed. We opened two more cooperations for tax shelters here in CA to try and fight back at least a little. I find it difficult to support the government here in CA in any way.....so I'll stick with my old 05 Dodge.

My main reason for buying was the tax incentives so they get less of my money. My 06 works perfect just the fees are almost as much as new and I only use it a few times a month.

My 86 RX7 has gone from $62 to $122.

 

[92562]

Don't forget to smog! Worst part smogging a 2 year old truck with 8k miles.

 

[Taboma]

OK so my 18' Raptor was $ 874 While my 12' Camaro was only $ 265 ( Only, used as comparison, not as in it's cheap !!) BUT, I'm more pissed about the $ 364 paid to AZ for my Wildcat XX that won't see 100 road miles a year + the fuckin $ 25 OHV on top of that.

 

[Boozer]

We got hosed in Colorado for registration as well.

Tags for my 2 year old Escalade were over $1k [emoji50][emoji50]

At that price just roll the dice on the ticket for driving the XX on the street.

My “old 05 Dodge” was over $400 to register.
So yep, I’m sticking with my old Dodge too. A new one will be over a grand.

Your Ferrari or your wifes Lamborghini?

LOL

Neither.....and the wife drives a seven year old Audi and it still costs a lot to register.

Here is an Arizona trick for registration though.

You register your car only in your wife's name, and her car only in your name. Arizona has spousal privilege. You get a photo ticket mailed to the registered owner of the car. You send a letter with a copy of the picture of your drivers license basically stating it is clearly not you.

Done, finished, dismissed.
