Y'all been taken over by commies.  I've got three 1995 Mercedes 124 cars, and the annual registration is $33 each one year, then down to $11, then back up to $33 the next year, and so forth.  My Yacht now costs $15 a year, used to be $25 for three years but too many Rinos caved and let the

In Michigan, we just pay one fee, for registration and value tax combined. I don't remember them all, but 2016 Cruze $126, 2007 Ion2 $67, 2003 ML350 $176, 1997 S420 I don't recall exactly, I try very hard to forget, but it's over $300. On 2020-09-29 20:13, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote:

MA penalizes you if the LAST owner didn't register the vehicle, even if it was from a different state. When I bought my '98 Jetta the DMV guy got all concerned when he realized I was going to have to pay a fine. It turned out to be $50 which I figured wasn't worth worrying about. If I end up

Florida penalizes you 30 days after the purchase if you haven’t registered and titled the vehicle. I believe it’s a pretty common thing for most states. That being said, I don’t think it’s a significant amount. -D > On Sep 29, 2020, at 5:38 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > Sounds

Congrats, nice victory! Regarding the County for the taxes, make sure that you tell them that you bought the car in a state of disrepair and you could not drive it until you got it repaired. Bring the receipt(s) for the ignition switch maybe, so you have some evidence? In my case, when I bought

Well, VT sent me plates and some sort of registration certificate, I got insurance so as far as I am concerned it is now "legal" to be on the road.  VT don't do titles on vehicles 15yo or older, so this one fell in that range.  I need to call the TitleMax guy tomorrow I guess, I just haven't

So if you recall I bought this 05 ML500 in kind of a shady deal, $400 for the vehicle, $275 to spring it from jail where it had been towed.  It had a "Start Error" which would not allow it to start.  I spent a lot of time digging into it with the majick computer, and managed to clear the Start
