Ditto in Arizona. We paid $388 to register our 2014 Subaru Outback.

$95 seems like a bargain in comparison.

E Maria you should have started a new thread. This one is 6 years old!

But on the note of this topic, I just paid $23 to renew my motorcycle plate. Compared to the license fees for my two cars, I felt I was getting away with murder!

Insane, isn't it. An extra $24 just for the highway patrol.

My license plate (1) in MS was $456.00. They are based on yr/make of car, and you pay for them at the tax office, because it is considered a tax. We only got a plate there because we live in MS longer than WI, however, WI is a bargain...so I would not complain....which you will...if you get a real estate tax bill...LOL!

Again, do people think road repair is really cheap? It's not. Where is the money supposed to come from if it's not paid by the users of the roads in some fashion?

Interesting. I used to live in California and drove a '97 Camry. If I recall correctly my registration was around $400 per year.

Default Got It Good in Ohio

Well, I can truly say that I'm stunned at the price of vehicle registration all over the country. I just got my renewal the other day and was complaining about $54 because I think it used to be about $35 here in Ohio. lol. Now I guess I'll think I'm lucky. As far as I know, it's roughly the same price for everyone. No difference for the value or age of the car. No emissions testing either.
