View Full Version : I was raped today
well...by the state at least.
Got plates on my new truck....$765 AFTER $60 pro-rated credit from my last truck....
that is INSANE. and I made my voice and displeasure very well known. I have had new trucks in the past and they were always around $500...but now over $800 is just asinine. She told me a new diesel she did this morning was over $1100.
I think it is time for Nebraska or Wyoming to get my registration money.

That's why my car still has Wyo plates and I've lived here for 8+ years.

Is that for an 18 wheeler or just a regular pickup truck?

My Trailblazer was $85 this year, down from $185 the year before. Paid a little over $200 for the wife's Santa Fe, down from $400 last year.
If I ever stop being cheap and get a new vehicle, I'll probably register it to my parents' address in Texas. Texas will let you complete the registration by mail and it's a flat $65/year, regardless of the value of your car. Amazing that other States can do just as well or better without placing so much of a burden on their taxpayers.

How much was registration and how much was sales tax?
Glad to see our roads are improving with all that money.

In perspective.
I hate paying registration in this state every year. But, I moved here from Wisconsin 8 yrs ago. If you drove a truck, it was $75 and change, new or used. The kicker is they have way higher property taxes. I think this last yr we paid like $1700 in property taxes on our home in Berthoud. Back in Wis. that would've been double. Have the same home on a lake, triple. So yes you had lower vehicle reg but property taxes were way higher!
Guess we gotta pay our dues somewhere!!
Still blows thought!!!

I think this is true all the way around. I never owned land in Texas so I'm not sure, but I have heard from others before how low the property taxes are here in CO compared with other places they've lived. Hmmm I think I'll go see if I can find real numbers for the amount of all taxes collected per capita by State, and compare it to the current debt by State.
Wow, I thought you went to Gunsmoke

When I moved from Aurora down to NM, my NM plates cost me about $160...for 2 years worth! And my property taxes are a fraction of what they were up there. My house is 2700 sq ft and I have just over 44 acres right on the Pecos river, and my total tax bill is about $1200 a year. And the house is considered to be "in town"! (OK, for anyone who's actually been down to Fort Sumner...in "village"...[ROFL1])

Last time I was in there registering one of my bikes, I over heard the DMV worker tell the lady "....and your total is $8,987." She must have had a fleet of trucks or something because it appeared her daughter on the other side was doing the same thing and her total was damn near $4k.

Well, that was pretty easy info to find:
Taxes collected per capita, by State (http://taxfoundation.org/article/state-tax-collections-capita-fiscal-year-) (2010)
Colorado State Debt Clock (http://www.usdebtclock.org/state-debt-clocks/state-of-colorado-debt-clock.html)
Just comparing Colorado to Texas: Colorado collects about $200 more from it's taxpayers than Texas. Residents of Texas have a slightly smaller share of the State's debt than do the residents of Colorado. So it would seem that Colorado literally does less with more of our money.
I suppose you can attribute a lot of it to upkeep of the large amount of parks and other public lands in CO. Then again, we have roughly 1 in 10 people on food stamps, whereas Texas is 1 in 6; so there are more components to the problem than efficient spending.

I did mine a couple days ago. $340 and change and I needed emissions on a 2006!! I got charged an additional $25 per month for it sitting in my garage. This state can suck it! In Alaska they did away with emissions testing because it didn't really do any good and Registration is like $100 every 2 years.
Where is all this money going anyways?!?!?
I used to not have a problem with the DMV and registration. Cheaper than some places I've lived. In the last 4-5 years that has changed. Road and bridge tax for vehicles and trailers. Non transferable by the way. Late fees for registering previously non running vehicles. The total screw up of collector/classic plates. The list goes on. [Rant1]
Don't get me started on the revenue enhancing emissions testing.

I've gotta register my Harley next week. $368 for a freakin' 2-year old bike. Wife just bought a new Traverse. $780 just in registration/owner taxes. No sales tax.
She bought it on May 31. Got the registration notice last week of June. Registered the Traverse first week of July. Because she "waited so long" (according to the gal at the clerk's office) she had to pay "Prior Ownership Tax" for ALL of May (even though she bought it the last day in May) and June.
We are definitely getting fucked at the DMV. Not to mention how much higher the fees are thanks to Bill Ritter.
the plates for the dodge in my avatar were $1074.00 last year, even after applying 1 month credit still left on the 08 gmc I traded in.

Coming to the party late but plates are based on the MSRP of the car you purchase. For a new car expect just a tad over 2%. It then drops to 2% of 85% the second year, ect.
It's brutal but think about this, last week we delivered a car north of 150k, now there's some expensive plates.

I imagine a lot of your money went to sales tax. Goverlooper needs the money. The next problem you will have is when your truck is a few years old and it won't pass the fart sucker test you colorado folks like. Had a post office box in wyoming for several years now. Have to register one in colorado for my job, but the other 4 in wyoming. Have a great day.

I don't begrudge the state and county taxes to pay for legitimate services. This is one of the things we have to put up with to have a society rather than anarchy BUT ...
why are my sales and property taxes higher than FL which has no income tax to offset their sales and property taxes?
My auto registration is about twice the cost of what I had to pay in VA or FL. All that hurts are the auto dealers -- I could buy a new car now, I should buy a new car now but I won't buy a new car now when I can see annual registration of $500-1000 in the horizon.

I I could ever afford a Ferrari I would register it in Alaska under a friends name.
It depends on what part of the city you live in whether or not you'll be raped on taxes.
I handle the tags for the cars at work, and I can tell you.. registering a 375k car in Greenwood Village is the same as a 125k car in Aurora.. No city tax on vehicles in GWV
Once you right a check at the DMV for 19k.. game over. Glad it's not my money.

Just registered 3 vehicles 2 weeks ago. The newest one is a 2002 Dodge Intrepid. The Intrepid was around $185. My POS/ready to die any day 1995 Celica ST (not even a good GT) was $169. $169 for this POS? This state has lost it's mind!

The 06 Grand Prix was $160. The wife's 00 GP was $69 last month. My 98 dodge was up to $130 and the 86 2+2 GP was $70. Others are on 5 year tags.

I'm about to pull that card.
4 years ago they wanted $400+ for my Camry. My 16 year old truck is still $120ish it was $2 less for the military discount.

Stop your bitchin first time in 28 years i had to do an emissions test.
How much was registration and how much was sales tax?
um...that wasn't even sales tax. I paid that at the dealer. That was just the "fees" and ownership tax.
What really pissed me off and I voiced my great disappointment was the $10 a year E-470 tax. I was like...WTF, this is a private road that is paid for by people who decide to use it and not funded by the state and should not be paid for in any way shape or form with my tax dollars. fucking BS. She told me people east of I-25 pay this tax and it was voted in a few years ago. I said and I quote: "A lot of stupid people have been moving into our state and I wish they would go back".
In perspective.
I hate paying registration in this state every year. But, I moved here from Wisconsin 8 yrs ago. If you drove a truck, it was $75 and change, new or used. The kicker is they have way higher property taxes. I think this last yr we paid like $1700 in property taxes on our home in Berthoud. Back in Wis. that would've been double. Have the same home on a lake, triple. So yes you had lower vehicle reg but property taxes were way higher!

hmmm...$1700 must be nice. Mine was over $3200 this year. more BS.

Related to this:
I just bought a car with a blown engine from a friend. It'll take a few (3-4) months to work the OT to get 'er running.
Is it possible to record the title transfer without registering the car, since I obviously can't register it? Surely people buy junker cars all the time, but when I go to the DMV website, it only talks about purchase/registration as one transaction.

Yep, you will get a new title and receipt but no registration or tags (obviously).

Cool, thank you!
When I bought my current daily driver last summer, it took SIX TRIPS to the DMV - two were my fault, but the other four were all things that I have never had a problem with before that each successive clerk just "happened" to notice. So I will feel better having an answer before I go waste an hour or two there only to be told "no".

The problem is that it did not used to be like this until relatively recently.

1. fuck bill ritter.
2. I closed my business in part because of this bullshit. I was paying over $10,000 a year JUST in registration. trucks, trailers and tractors. as in John Deere. Yeah, that's right, commercial vehcicles used off your property are required to have plates. even if they dont' go on the road. You know all the illegals have those. (not). for about a total of 30,000 miles a year.
and now, they get nothing. zero, nada zilch.
minus my 12 year old cars. (which are still a fucking rip off).
starve the beast.
go Galt.
Man that is something else. When I did my new Jeep last year it was like $680 and I actually laughed out loud. I was like, "No ma'am this is a Jeep Wrangler not a semi cab. You must be mistaken." I was beyond unimpressed with that. Unbelievable.
Guys,
I feel for you. I get my DV plates for free on my 1 ton diesel and my wife drives a 2002 Eclipse that only runs about $60 or so to register.

It matters who you see at the dmv. I know it shouldn't, but I have inadvertantly went to a newbie and was told I needed all sorts of misc papers, tax return etc. This was for an 85 1 ton I haven't had on the road in 6 years, that I register as a farm veh. I left her station and went to a lady I have gone to for the last 10 plus years and she didn't need shit. Price was prob the same just the bs was different.
