Question about registration fees for new vehicle.

[ray1970]

I miss some things about Texas. Like putting plates on a brand new truck for about $45. The roads there are in much better shape too. Always baffled me how vehicle registration here is so high and there is state income tax yet somehow we have the worst roads of just about anywhere. Always wonder what exactly it is they do with all the money I give the state every year.

Pay my salary. Thank You.

It does make you wonder though huh. What are they doing with it! Roads are crap. They are rebuilding major sections of town though, 6th and I 25, 6th and Bryant/Lowell/Perry, new bridged at Sheridan, Garrison on 6th. New project at 6th and Wadsworth about to start up. A lot stuff that was falling down is getting rebuilt finally.

I didn't really want to buy a "new" vehicle, but anything that was nearly new or slightly used was as much as a new one. Screw it, bought new.

I don't miss the heat, but I could buy a bunch of Whataburgers with the difference I pay in vehicle registrations.

Oh, man...I miss me some Whataburgers. Jim's Burger Haven is pretty close.

Reason why I decided on new was just like above post said, what I wanted used cost almost as much as the new one, so I got the new one because of options and color availability. Wouldn't it be nice to pay the fees based on the trade in difference???

Just got the notice in the mail my plates for '14 2500HD are due next month. $650... That is simply outrageous. Fortunately I'll have an ID address by the 1st week of Aug...registration there is $48 + $7 for a new title.

I hear ha! I was in the same boat for my 14' duramax, got that registration in the mail and said screw the state! So I traded in the 14' and got a 15' duramax just to spite them!


cept now my fees will be about $1200 probably!

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah...mine was about $850 the first year.

[XXFattyHunterXX]

Well at least some of you guys fees are worst than mine so I guess that's not as bad. Lol

I paid over $1k on my 08 Cummins the first year. Second year was still $900...
