does YOUR DMV suck as bad as mine?
here in NS, when u goto register a newly acquired vehicle, their computer pops up a "book value" for your car and they will charge sales tax on that amount REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH/LITTLE U PAID !!!
imagine my surpise to be told my svx was worth 1500$ in their eyes.... sheesh!! i handed the girl the keys and she kinda looked at me to say "whats this?" then i asked for a 1500$ cheque........!!! i had to get a blank form, FIND an auto appraisal place to look at the car and pay THEM 30$ for the privilege!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Rrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i have to go back to the dmv to pay the tax on the appraised value (200$$ ) lol on the bright side, we pay 14 % tax here( dont get me started on THAT issue!!) so instead of 210$ tax i now have to pay 28 $ 28+ the 30 for the appraisal+20$ for my time/gas= 78$$ so i'm still money ahead....... but DAMN !!! what a pita !!! anyone else have this highway robbery system?? ps........ lets take a new car at 20,000$ for ex........here u will pay 2800$ in taxes to register it keep it for a few yrs and sell it privatelyfor 10,000$....... the new owner will now pay1400$ he sells it for 5000$... the next owner pays 700$ in taxes........ he sells it for 1500$.....the gov makes another 210$ then it sells for 750$ a few times before getting scrapped.....thats another 105$ each time so the car lives sayyyyy 15 yrs....... in that time, the thieves in my provincial government make....... 5320$$ off a car that sold for 20,000$ when new quite a racket eh?!?!?!? 25% return on ONE consumer item in taxes....

I know what you mean.
I just paid $468.70 in taxes on my SVX two weeks ago. The purchase price was $6500. The upshot is both trips to the DMV only took five minutes. Ira |

Georgia shows the taxable value of my cars to be something in the neighborhood of $700 each, as I recall. My annual registration (ad valorem tax plus decal fee) is about fifty bucks.
No state is going to base any vehicle's taxable value on what you paid. dcb |

And annual registration is a flat fee of $35 for cars.

Florida also, just write in on the title what you paid when you transfer it and pay the 6%. I didn't even have a receipt.

ours USED to be a trusting organization......
then they wised up to the under-stated receipts.... the fees i talked of are JUST TO GET IT IN MY NAME.......!! PLUS you have to show proof of current valid insurance.... to actually register a car here it costs a variable amount based on vehicle registered weight ie:an imprezza costs less to title than a legacy, which costs less than a tribecca... cost for an average car is about 45$/yr...

i alomost forgot, on top of the taxes and registration fees
they also charge 10.65 $ JUST TO TRANSFER AN EXISTING REGISTERED PLATE!!!!!!!!! ie: the plate on the svx came off my accord......so i have to pay 10.65 just for the privilege of them printing a new form attaching the plate # to a diff car... sighhhhh the biggest thing that galls me about the DMV is that the ENTIRE dept exists ONLY to sustain itself!! ie: if we didnt HAVE the dmv...... we wouldnt NEED the dmv....... they exist only to pay for themselves.........

Wrong. If you buy a car and it is within a certain year range then yes you are correct but if it is newer you have to fill out a form about why you bought the car so cheap. IF THEY DO NOT LIKE YOUR ANSWER THEY WILL SEND YOU A BILL!!!!!! I can show you one of these bills if I still have it. Case in point: a guy goes to Ill to get a turbo legacy with a blown tranny (auto) and tows it home. he fixes the tranny and gets the car licensed. He pays tax on $500 which is really what he paid. Later he gets a bill for $200 or so and has to send payment asap or provide proof of why he paid $500. He sent pics in of a car. Problem solved.

You guys have it pretty rough.
Over here there is really no fussing with anything, but be prepared to wait an hour or two in line. When I bought the Stealth I don't think I even went to the DMV before I sold it. Matter of fact, same for the XT6 and SVX. I never went to the DMV to transfer my name, though they were/are in my name. My memory is fuzzy and I probably just forgot (because it was so simple), but I can count on one hand the number of times I've went there. All 5 times to get liscenced. Permit at 14, m1 class at 16, D m1 at 18 (twice), and I just renewed at 24. Had an MT Isuzu pickup on it's way South so I failed my first driving test. Tester guy didn't like me popping it in neutral coming to a stop.

Az isnt too bad, but not too good either..
if you buy the car from a dealer, you pay taxes on the actual amt you paid on the car. If you get it from a private party, no taxes. Then you pay a $6 I think title transfer fee Registration goes off a depreciated value of the original sticker price when it comes to it. Think FL and Nevada and NM have the cheapest cost on automotive registration fees etc. At least I can renew online each yr and our lines here for some reason, arent too bad, but most depends on what day and time you go.

When I registered my SVX in VT it booked for $2500...I paid $100 w/ trade on my 92 loyale. The registration ended up being $211 total. So I spent $311 toatl for a SVX.....I'm not complaining.

New Jersey, home of the DMV, I "paid" $500 for my car and 7% tax at registration. Reason for the low purchase price? "blown" transmission

In Oregon, because...
...we have no SALES tax, the "value" or sales price of the car is not in consideration. The plates go with the vehicle, unless they are "vanity" plates.
So, with Lic & title change, registration for two years, + DEQ certification = $125 or so, total... No "personal property" tax, either. Cheers!
