Just got the bill to renew the registration on my 06 F-150, $175 ouch! Seems high for a 7 year old truck but guess I just forgot the amount from last year. Got me to thinking, since most of the registration is based upon the value just how much are folks pay for these gorgeous new trucks that roll off the showroom floor at 40, 50 or even $60,000?
We only paid $10K for our (used), 08 TT so it isn't too bad but the new trailers, especially the big dollar fivers must be a serious hit and then there are the Motor Coaches, wow! What do they hit you for a $250K Class A? I guess if you have to ask you cannot afford it, certainly true in my case. No wonder some folks don't mind forking out $40 or $50 a night for RV parks. After the cost of insurance and registration that seems almost reasonable. :S
I can't even renew my car registration until both the TT and car personal property taxes are paid, so $175 would be me getting off easy!
I don't even want to think about how much the folks with the $50k and up rigs are paying if I pay what I do for a 2005 jayco travel trailer. That and my car (a Mustang) run about almost 400. I am not sure what my SO pays for his F150. We both pay our personal property tax separately, and since his is likely more than my car, I pay the TT tax since it is in my name.
