mopar01lee Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 Ain't that the truth ... now cigarettes are up to 7.00 bucks a pack. Thank God I live so close to Missouri ... lol

slantasaurus Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Yeah, they nickel and dime you to death in this state! Harry, I would have been happy to renew my Illinois plates. I just did a title transfer and plates in FL and it cost me almost $400.......and its only good for 6 months before I have to spend another $57 to renew for a year.....Not to mention the extra cost of insurance down here.

Yikes! And I thought Illinois was bad! But a title transfer is a one-time deal, so you should be ok from now on.
Harry P. Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 But you know what? Doesn't matter what state you're in, the pols will screw you. Dang! Broke the "no politics" rule again! Moderator! We need a moderator in aisle 12!

We need a moderator in aisle 12! Do you guys have to deal with emissions?, here its $27 for newer cars, if I can ever get my car fixed where it will go thru emissions (darn check engine light), I keep checking, and the engine is still there , for my 2001, its $65 for one year, or $170 I think for two years. Harry, go to your room :lol: Edited July 1, 2012 by martinfan5
mopar01lee Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 Around were I live. It all depends on what city,town,or county u live in whether or not you get testes.. but in my small town. My cars don't have to get tested .
Sport Suburban Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Sorry to hear you sold that General Lee but you can build another. I have a hard time selling any of my built ones. Also as Jonathan said Maricopa County AZ (phoenix and suburbs) has emissions that add to the cost. My 71's cost $20 each year for the test but the newer cars are $27 every two years. The registartion is based on year of vehicle and value. When my 99 S10 was new it was $500.00 for the first year but now that it is 13 years old it's $70 for two years. The 1971 is now $49 registation a year (includes $25 personalized plate) that I pay for every year.
sports850 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I'm leaving the rego costs alone as our costs would shock you .... Well done on the Genral Lee , all I can say is the guy got an absolute bargain at that price for the amount of work and materials you put into it .

Oh come on, shock us, how much do you pay down there?
martinfan5 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Raoul , I dont understand why the state charges that fee for personalize plates every year. Isnt there a per letter fee when you first get a personal plate?
sports850 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) For my Lancer I just got the rego renewal , just over $700 for 12 months rego and compulsory third party insurance (not on the car , to cover anyone injured in a crash ) EDIT , if you want normal personalised plate (standard letter and number combination but your own choice of letters and numbers) it's $45 or so a year extra , if you want full custom plates (something that doesn't fit the usual letter number combination , eg MODEL or BUILD or similar) it's a bit over $400 a year on top of the rego fees .

Fat Brian Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 It sounds like it's time for a revolution down there.
sports850 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 2007 CJ , just the base model (not evo or ralliart) 2 litre one
martinfan5 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 2007 CJ , just the base model (not evo or ralliart) 2 litre one Now I really dont want to know what the Evo would cost per year, but isnt the pay rate higher there then say here in the US?
Mike Kucaba Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 "The BIGGER the government,the smaller the citizen" Just say NO to the Pols
sports850 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Now I really dont want to know what the Evo would cost per year, but isnt the pay rate higher there then say here in the US? An evo would be the same (or close to it , the CTP might be a bit dearer) , it gets dearer with weight , a large 4WD (over 2 tonnes) is $100 or more extra then trucks are more again . Thank's for posting all that Dan , was too much to type
Danno Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Around were I live. It all depends on what city,town,or county u live in whether or not you get testes.. but in my small town. My cars don't have to get tested . There's your problem. If you're only getting your testes from your local government.
