Show up with check or credit card in hand and a jar of lubricant, cause they can..

You can call but, they don't give quotes over the phone.

New as in 2017, or new as in new to you? Either way figure an easy $400+easy.

depends on the purchase price and the cost new. I would think they should have a cost estimator on there site. I know for wife's 2014 explorer in Weld it was outrageous or so I think.

bend over baby

first you have sales tax. The dealer probably collected the state (3%), but probably not county, RTD and city. so figure another 3 to 5%. You have to pay that just the first year.

Then it's by weight and value. so expensive SUV's and pickup trucks get CRUSHED. Little sedans and such don't do so bad.

It declines slowly but steadily over 10 years, to about $100 or so per year. (20 years ago a 10 year old car cost about $20, now it's over a $100) and it doesn't really decline any further.

dont' forget you need proof of insurance plus all the dealer paperwork.

Just registered my new 2017 equinox in Jeffco... About $700... that included an extra $50 they charge for veteran plates... i am sure that when I got them on my other car they didn't cost any extra.

Every time I get a new vehicle it is usually about $450 for plates. And I don't spend over $20K on my vehicles. If you bought a $40K vehicle you can expect double what I pay.

People rag on Texas all of the time but plates on a brand new truck usually cost me under $45.

El Paso county:
When we went to register our 2016 Odyssey, it would have been around $530 or so -- opted to move my DV plates over so it was "$0"

2007 Escape was like... $75 or something? Wife took care of that one so I dunno.

I just registered a "collector" car. Way more than it should be for a car that is limited on it's annual mileage. The part that rubbed me wrong was the $40.00 E470 fee. Why did I pay a fee for a toll road. A road that is paid for by those who use it. A road I will never go on. And a road they do not want me on!! The vehicle only goes 55[Rant1]

When we bought our 13' Pathfinder, it was $1K to register....same year we bought our Maxima, $890....my asshole was gaped by September 13' and though it's come down, it's not ummm......[sheepshagger][sheepshagger]

MSRP on my truck was $51K. I paid $743.

Ask a question here and you get more info than you need. Not only has he gotten a couple of replies about Adams county but he's now much more knowledgeable about what it would cost in counties where he isn't even going to register anything.

Forgot to mention, weld county's website offers an estimator. Might be worth googling.

You got fucked pretty hard there. $1900 is about what it took to plate two of my vehicles that costed roughly $110k combined!

Between the two it was 100k combined, 55 pf, 45 maxima both were brand new with platinum extended warranty

Op, you have a range you can expect now....

Guess I shouldn't complain, I had to pay 290 for an '09 coupe - last year in CA it was 188. This was in boulder

Indeed. Now he knows to move to El Paso county, where the beer flows like wine, the dependapotami flock like the salmon of Capistrano, and the vehicle registration is slightly cheaper.

Wouldn't be the first person to have vehicles registered in a different county. Years ago i told people no one moved to weld cty for the quality of living, they did it to avoid emission testing.

For those who have to plate a trailer. A 4 x 8 cost $75 per, which was more than i paid for it. Give CO another 5 years and we'll probably see safety inspections, again, once enough for the children people immigrate here.

Bought new?

Yes, it was purchased brand new. That is not what I financed but that was the MSRP on it.

For my old cars I register then all as Horseless carriage, then do the paperwork and install year of manufacture plates on them. All horseless carriage plates in Colorado are on a 5 year cycle and all expire at the same time, so the cost is different depending where in the cycle you get the plates, but the cost is never more than $15.49. Then to swap out to a year of manufacture plate there is no cost involved. I've got 2 cars done like this and about to add a third.
