damn and I was b!tchin about the 86 bucks I had to pay...

[siksilverado]

I wish mine was 86 bucks i would of had my wallet out in no time

[lks dcvn]

Ohio - has classic plates - ~$30 and I am licensed until 2050 - sadly you can only drive these things on non-snow/ice days...so I guess it averages out. I would pay a bit more for nice weather and be able to drive these year round...

[RoadDevil13]

good god.....welcome to california.

Thank Arnold for that

[1985-GMC]

I have an idea, move out of California.

[kxnomore]

You can sign a statement of fact that states the vehicle was not driven on any public road for the two years. They will usually waive the past due penalties, and all you pay is for the actual cost to register it each year, as if you were paying on time. I've done this a couple times with no issues.
Good luck!

[eagleuh1]

Man, that sucks. You can move to Arkansas. Mine sat unregistered for 13 years. It cost me 27 bucks and sighning an affidavit saying it hadn't been on the road in that time. Sorry to hear how bad Cali needs tax money. Can you promise them an arm and a leg instead?

[Hottrucks]

dude send me the vin and $6 and I'll reg it for yea..I don't need anything else

last year for my 70 was $111...that about killed me....well that was the reg a vanity plate tax's and my insurance sucks thoug its only good for one year.....

[Hottrucks]

oh sorry my bad if you want vanity plates it will be $35 plus the $6...don't want to mislead you

Welcome to the People's Republic of California!

[johndawelder]

Here in TN, my tags on my new truck was $24. Tags for my 67 was $35 and I never have to renew them. Gotta like that.

This is exactly what happens if a vehicle is not placed on a non-op registration. Don't blame the state on this one. Blame your friend for being too lazy to spend $10. I have a 69 CJ-5 that has had a non-op on it since 2001. It cost me $10....period. There is no yearly fee, maintenance fee, or any other b.s. If I want to go and register it today, it will cost me $36. Welcome to California. Lesson number one, do not buy a vehicle if it is not registered or non-opped.

Ditto I've been in that situation more than one time. Now, the first thing I ask is if the registration is current or Non-Opped.
I tried until I was blue in the face to get the past registration fees waived but for me it was a no go.
The last time cost me over $800.00 when it would have cost just under $80. had the PO just non-Opped it!
California sucks in More than one way!

[cdowns]

it pays to do your homework prior to taking the plunge into anything

yep, been there too. Once bought a small box trailer that ended up costing me like $2500 to register; never knew it had been in CA; it's the first quetion I asked when I bought my 69

good luck with the statement, let us know how it goes

[BADPURPLE70CHEVY]

Here in n.c. there is not a problem like that. No insult intended but must be alot of hippie tree huggers at your dmv. lol just kidding....

Wow.... I thought it was a lot cheaper there. I guess things have gone up...

[OregonC20]

That is one of many reasons why we moved away from cali.

[capev86]

don't know what you are talkin' about. up here in maine, the registration runs out...oh well....you just can't drive it or you'll get a ticket if its more than amonth overdue. my 72 burb was like $350 last year (mostly sales tax on $7500) but it should be under $60 this year. i transferred the plates from my 89 lesabre. it may stay home when the snow and junk flies, but i want to be able to use it like a truck and not just as an antique.....this isn't a model T just going to shows and back.

[QKENUF4U]

good ol communistfornia...... love the bay area but wouldnt live there unless i was seriously loaded $$$$$$$$$$$$

[michael bustamante]

wow!! thats alot of fees fines and penalties, I was *****in about NM fees going up from 35 to 50.00 yearly.
I would think that if you can prove that the veh was inop for a # of years (like a recept for an engine tranny or rear end, or a bunch of other receipts) that they would waive some of those back registration fees

The entire state is like that. We have the honer of paying the highest taxes in the country. Highest DMV fees. Highest gas taxes. Highest welfare in the nation. California has 12% of the nation's population and 39% of the nations welfare. 9.75% sales tax in Los Angeles county. Highest paid teachers in the nation but our public school system ranks 43rd.
The California legislature is now up to a 12% approval rating.
I can go on...

[dfwright]

So you can get rust free trucks real cheap, but if you want to drive them, it's $$$$ -- I guess it all evens out in the end
