Vehicle Registration Costs - Georgia

[ronward]

So my birthday is coming up next week and like every year that means vehicle tags are to be renewed. I got the ad velorem tax notice in the mail today. My 2002 Ford Superduty powerstroke diesel 4x4 carries a registration fee of $442.74. My 1997 D90 will be $466.59!! Makes me long for the days when I paid $20 for an "antique vehicle" tag for my series Rover.... :angry

Damn! It's 60 bucks to register in IL. A year. Went up from 40 a couple of years ago. That's criminal man!

Only eighteen years to go -- provided it's 25 years to qualify for 'antique vehicle' status. :)

I think that is highway robbery.....

I suppose that is the state's way of covering all the highway construction in Atlanta, a town some 100 miles from here, dadgumit!

I'm a law abiding citizen and taxpayer (really) but this makes me want to start looking for a pre-1985 90 VIN plate...

I'll sell you mine (its an 84)

Too late, already bought the tags. Plus, with hurricane Ivan bearing down on the southeast in the path of Frances, I don't want to take any chances with my D90 insurance should it be crushed underneath one of the five 100 year old plus live oak trees in and around my garage.

Glad to see Ca is NOT the only state to screw the public.
