I can't believe it

I noticed that my registration fees went up this year too... WTF? Taxation into poverty if you ask me, CO is getting worse the more and more liberal we become (I don't mean us as liberals I just mean the libs keep getting more and more wins here). I thought you could argue against this due to registration and tax being based on the value of the car. Someone told me once that all you need is KBB and NADA value sheets and you can appeal your fees and they adjust based on how much your car is worth now, not the purchase price. I'm not sure on this though so don't take that to the bank without checking more on it.

I have a 2001 wrangler. I paid about $25+ more this year than last year. Not including stupid emissions.

All you good subjects, don't forget you are supposed to be paying sales tax for all the items bought and sold on the trading post.

"Consumer use tax must be paid by Colorado residents and businesses on purchases that did not include Colorado sales tax, such as those made over the Internet, by mail order, or by telephone."

A large part of the current registration cost is the "temporary fee increase" that became permanent this year, as it was about to expire. My old POS 85 Yamaha XT350 was $17.92 to plate in 09, this year it will cost me $160.92 if I choose to register it, including the ridiculous late fees. $43 of that is road and bridge fees for a motorcycle that weighs less than 400 lbs, and gets ridden a couple hundred miles a year.

I can't wait to see what my new will cost me.

I've "gone Galt" on my car purchases... I can afford a new car, but flat won't do it because of the fees & taxes-if they want me to reduce my emissions, they're going to have to provide an incentive...

I thought paying $207 for my '05 Chevy 1500 was bad, guess I have no reason to complain now.

Whew, my new beater just got registered and tagged... $75 out the door here in El Paso county.

I wouldn't be able to afford a couple hundred.

That's weird... my wife and I just did our 97 Corolla and 99 Camry and it was just under or just over $150 for both of them I think?
