Vehicle license renewal "taxable value" - where do they come up with this "stuff"?

[Bailey Guns]

It rose to a whopping $69 ($25 for motorcycles) to register a vehicle one or two years old in Idaho this year. People are upset at the increase from $48. I'm thrilled.

I'm still walking with a limp after paying for plates on my new 15 duramax.

Oh I don't envy you late model diesel guys at all, my 11 Xterra will probably be half that of a 15 dura max .

I have a trailer I bought at Harbor Freight seven years ago for, IIRC, about $230. I just paid the registration on it and it was $44 for a year. $44 x seven years = $308, so I've now paid far more in registration fees than I paid for the &#@$ing thing.

You don't really own anything, you just rent it from the government.

I was in a wheelchair for mine.

According the to government ALL the money is theirs, if the government raises taxes and fee it is because they're reclaiming more of what is originally theirs.

Ain't that nice.

The "taxable value" is the original sales price of the vehicle when it was new. I have six vehicles I buy plates for each year.

My 94 Suburban was $117 this year and I drove 200 miles all year. Add to that insurance and the diesel requiring E testing every year. Even though it's paid for, I think my monthly rent payment just to "own it" is getting a little high. The odometer did turn 49K miles this year though.
