Hey, i'm new to this state, and misunderstood what the deal was with this whole registration price tripleing (..you know what i mean).
So now we have past the "deadline" and I have yet to register my car in the state, and i'm kinda upset i dropped the ball and didn't get it done last month. Anyway, I'm gonna register a 1998 Acura EL (98 Civic EX for comparison) so how much do you think it will be to register, and how much would it have been?
Thanks
My understanding of the payment rate is that the inital registration is based on the price paid for the vehicle, and as the vehicle gets older, and therefore depreciates, so too does the annual Vehicle License Fee ( aka "Registration") So, the fee for a 98 Civic EX ought to compare fairly well.
www.dmv.ca.gov - Check their website out. I bet it'll break things down better than I can.
