Time to renew registration, $$$ ouch!

[Desert_Captain]

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

My 02 Excursion is $71.50 here in NJ.

Depends on the state, Colorado charges a percentage of the list price decreasing every year for 10 years down to a fixed fee. And yes that was a small factor in deciding if we wanted to get a newer or older coach. Folks with new high dollar vehicles/RVs get nailed, my '06 F-250 was a bit over $500 when we moved here in '06, now it's down to high $200s. The '99 Alpine is under $200, even though there are weight fees for RVs.

NY state is also weight based, with a maximum registration fee for passenger vehicles (includes non-commercial light trucks and motorhomes) of $70/year. Some counties have additional fees and taxes that can add up to about $40 to that. Commercial vehicle fees are higher.

In RI, we pay by our GVW for vehicles. Cost me $97.50 for 2 years on my Liberty.
