79.00 here in texas.
depends on the state. i once lived in oklahoma and they go by the cost of the
car.higher the car the higher the tags. guess they figure if you can afford to
buy a 40,000 car what's another 500.00 for tags. which is a rip off..

And yet another reason I LOVE Texas! I can't imagine paying that much. I'll pay about $69/year for registration and $40/year for my personalized plates. (Grandfathered in on my vanity plates FTW!)

I purchased my car in March 2010 and in Aug I moved from NJ to DE. Upon entering the great state of DE, I have to pay a fee of 3.75% of NADA book value of the vehicles to title in the state. So The guy at the DMV did me a "favor" and appraised my Z at $21k. Total after all fees was $881. I think next year it's $40 or something like that.

I think that registration should cost the same to all legal drivers and owners. The brand, type, make, model, or price should not matter. All vehicles will be driven on the same roads. No one car with have exclusivity or priority, other than emergency vehicles, on the streets. I just paid $455 to renew my registration. Someone else just paid $30 to register their vehicle that is most likely smog prone, less safe, and probably worst on gas mileage than that of my Z.

Yes, I do not believe in discriminating against the rich. We (the producers) are the people that create the high standard of living for everyone else (half of the US population is on welfare, and recieves a welfare check called a "tax return" even though they pay no income taxes, since their credits exceed their liabilities). Bill Gates is a perfect example, the man, with help from many others like him, has created tens of thousands of millionaires, and hundreds of thousands of well off affluent families, and revolutionized every business's productivity all over the world with the adoption of desktop computing for the masses. If it weren't for us, the proles would starve to death. I live near Bill, and everyone I know who is rich works for Bill.

So what should we do, raise his taxes? Take all his money when he dies? Well, that would be less money for his philanthropy which is changing the world, instead the government (idiots who could not succeed in the actual business world) would give themeselves a raise, and then decide the best way to spend the rest, rather than the man who created the wealth in the first place.

Don't want to get to into politics but. It comes down to taxing people based on their standard of living/income level... Most (not all) of the time value of a persons car is normally a reflection of their income level.

Completley depends on your State/County. Washington was pretty bad until about 1999, charging based on some inflated market value of your car (essentially a property tax), when we passed an initiative on the ballot for $30 car tabs. Since they've packed on more new fees, but it's not bad.

Does anyone know for certain why the price of renewing your registration vary so much between location and model of vehicle?

Someone mentioned that it was redistribution of wealth, but is that true?

While you could argue that of any tax, money is neded to keep the roads, lights, signs, etc... in reasonable/working condition. I know that some of us complain about the fees we have to pay. However, we are the first talk trash about the pot hole that just bent our rim. Money is needed, as are taxes. But we all should learn to live within our means. Government included.
