    Default Question about registration fees for new vehicle.

    So i know that when you trade in your vehicle to a dealer, you'll only get tax on the trade difference. What about registration and plates??? Do you have to pay the fees for the whole original tax value or do they give you a break when they see the bill of sale with your trade in vehicle? I'm in Adams county. Thanks

    You get a pro rated amount back from the trade in car.

    You will be charged the whole rate for the new year for new car and get a discount from the old one.

    I believe they prorate the owner's tax on your previous vehicle. You need to bring the old vehicle plate and registration.

    The above is correct, so if you traded in a car you only paid $100 in plates 8 months ago, you might get a $25 credit toward the new plates.
    you don't need to bring in your old plates, it saves a few bucks to reuse them and bring in the registration from the old vehicle.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    And no matter how you slice it the process is not cheap. Even my 5 YO car was $260 the first and $200 this year. For El Paso county we have an estimator. http://www.epcclerk.com/motorv/estimate.php First year for a $40K truck was over $800.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    And also start saving for next year, the fees don't go down as fast as depreciation of the vehicle does.

    Another good reason to NEVER buy a new vehicle unless you have the money lying around in piles.

    I'm finally down to $100/yr for my 2004 Tahoe.

    You're going to end up paying a chunk, unless you're going to buy old and used.
