California Registration Cost for 2003 996 TT....

Yes they are crazy and will get crazier every year. Although yours seem especially crazy. I just got my renewal for the same year and model and it was $717.00. User fees (like DMV) are being raised to take care of out of control spending. The voters just required that user fee require a 2/3 public voted but specifically exempted DMV fees.

Wait I'm confused do you have to pay each year for a car in CA or some other states mentioned??? That would suck...am I understanding this right?
In Maryland you have to pay 6% tax on the purchase price of the vehicle once when transfering title and getting new tags as the buyer and along with this you must provide MD State safely inspection certificate only once at the same time. Then you get your tags and the new MD title is mailed to you.
After that you pay nothing and never need to get it inspected again. You just do Emissions every year and renew your registration and get new stickers every 2 years, doesn't matter what kind of car you have it's $150 for new registration card and plate sticker...
I thought most States were like this, no?

Washington State has yearly registration...
Washington State charges yearly, with emissions inspection required every other year (for cars > 5 year old I think). I paid $300 this year for registering my car.
Oregon is different, charging $77 for regular vehicles for two or four years - four years for a newly purchased car or a new state resident and two years for renewing.

Ya, I think I paid $33 for normal plates. 6.75 percent sales tax upfront hurts, although not nearly as bad as other states sales tax, but there is no annual value tax like some states have.

The VLF starts as a percentage of the purchase price of the car, and then the value of the car is depreciated on a DMV schedule over the subsequent 11 years of ownership until it's finally like $60 a year or something. Keep your Turbo a long time for the "best" registration deal.
