Re: [MBZ] 240D license

[clay via Mercedes]

had the form, filled out by the seller/attorney.  No-brain counter person took 
45 minutes to figure out how to proceed.  She redid the thing three times, 
called Oly, after her boss was confusing her.

Sounds like State rape.  You did have this form:

http://www.dor.wa.gov/Docs/Forms/Misc/DeclarBuyerSllrRcValueUsedVehSold_E.pdf

did you not?  Else the State uses blue book value.  Every time they try
that I shout "Sold!",
and they look at me funny...

And how come I'm now paying weight fees on a standard sedan?
License has just about doubled as a result.  What a shock.

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

If I buy a car here, it cost me:

$75 title transfer
$36 registration
7% sales tax

There is a $225 "administrative fee" for any vehicle being brought into Florida 
from out of state. However, if you have a retired registration (a registration 
that's no longer in use but wasn't surrendered when the car was sold) it can be 
applied to the out of state vehicle, negating the $225 fee. This is a very, 
very obscure end run around the statute, but perfectly legal. A very nice and 
accommodating DMV employee turned me on to this loophole some years back.

My long gone 1982 300SD serves this purpose, as it's still in the system from 
over 15 years ago. Based on the out of state cars I've bought where this has 
allowed me to avoid the fee, I figure the 300SD has a current value of a couple 
thousand dollars at this point.

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Funny I figured MA would be really expensive being one of the more liberal 
states around. Ours is $60 every 2 years, the first time you register you've 
gotta pay a $75 titling fee and of course the 6.25% sales tax.
When I bought the Jetta it was fined for not having been registered. The guy 
made out like it was a big deal but it ended up being only $50, not worth 
fighting over...

I just purchased an 86 SDL and wanted it to have vintage plates.  Washington 
allows the use of period correct plates or you get the collector plates they 
issue.  Their plates are $65, to use your own vintage plate is $35.

That said, the DMV has jacked up all the fees to register your car.

I purchased the R107 and it was tagged as normal car.  Pay the 10% tax, get 
some more fees paid and it was on the road like a normal car.  I got some 
vintage plates and paid $35 at renewal one year and never have to pay or get 
inspected again.  That was a few years ago.

The w126 turned into a prison rape.  I had an affidavit from the seller 
(federal prosecutor) as to sales price.  When I went in to register that car, 
the dame at the counter disregarded the thing, decided the car was valued at 
the magnificent price the state deemed it to be, then charged me a full year as 
a standard car, with all fees that entailed, purchase of a new set of plates 
(which I did not need), and then the fees to use my own vintage plates, along 
with  tax on the actual price I paid.  That was around $200.

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

here, transferring a title was $10.  A few years ago they raised that 
150% to $25.  I think that was the same time they doubled the license plate.


We have THE MOST state employees per capita of the 50 states!  (57 if 
you are a (J)   They have to be paid for some way!  The goober and the 
legislature certainly can't consider cutting the budget!   Most of these 
have been added under the domain of (E)  goober for life Dagwood

part to bloat the gooberment too.

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Floriduh has "classic" plates for cars 30 years or older, but the fees are 
essentially the same as current plates, and you have to renew annually.  Sort 
of defeats the purpose, in my mind.

They have "permanent" classic plates, too, but the vehicle has to be older and 
not used as a daily driver. Woosconsin had a similar arrangement years ago with 
a lifetime (one time) fee and the vehicle couldn't be on the road in January 
and February, or something goofy like that. Otherwise you could drive it all 
you wanted.

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Our license / registration / taxes for all three vehicles ('87, '95, '96) is 
about $12 each vehicle for one year, then $33 each the next year, and keeps 
flipping back and forth like that.  Red state baby!  Regular plates, nothing 
special.

The cabriolet I just bought was like $25 to get the title in my name, no taxes 
/ registration / licence until I get it running and put insurance on it.
