bend over baby

first you have sales tax. The dealer probably collected the state (3%), but probably not county, RTD and city. so figure another 3 to 5%. You have to pay that just the first year.

Then it's by weight and value. so expensive SUV's and pickup trucks get CRUSHED. Little sedans and such don't do so bad.

It declines slowly but steadily over 10 years, to about $100 or so per year. (20 years ago a 10 year old car cost about $20, now it's over a $100) and it doesn't really decline any further.

dont' forget you need proof of insurance plus all the dealer paperwork.
