Michigan's property tax registration applies to cars of model year 1984 and newer, and is determined by MSRP. It's highest on a new car, goes down for three years and then stays the same for the rest of the car's life. They raised the prices this year. A car with a $34-35k fee class, like my '86 201.034, goes $159 a year. My 140.043 is fee class 73, $330/12 months. For comparison, the sales tax when I bought it was $45. ($750 car with trans locked in 2nd and broken front springs) A new $100k S class would cost $612 the first year, $449 the fourth and subsequent years. Older cars, it's a registration fee based on weight, approximately $30-60. My 116.120 is in the 4,000lb class, costs $43 a year. Surprisingly enough, when they jacked up the fees on January 1 they didn't bother to increase the pre 1984 cars.
