Yo Dog!

Ty's are different than Sy's they are already considered passenger vehicles only the trucks are considered commercial.

Interesting guys, thanks Don for the breakdown.

Hey Roy, are you sure its not the tax for the purchase that's making it high. I just looked at mine, still comercial and it's only $106. I am registered in Mariposa county though.

Jimminy Crickets. I have to be the only Sy owner with a Sy in California that never has to be smogged, and $100 a year registration!

(Illinois plates on a Sy that has never seen Illinois )

Re: CA owners: title question?

CA sucks because:

I found my Syclone in June 2010 through Craigslist during the morning and I met the seller 2 hours later ( I lived 45 min away )
My Syclone was sitting in a back yard for over 9 years, with the last registration date of 2001.
Once I saw the car, I went to Jack in the Box and I carfaxed the truck (on my blackberry, lol) to verify the mileage, previous registration and so on.
I then negotiated the price accordingly, and agreed to purchase the next day.
Later that night, I found an area on the DMV site to calculate my registration and transfer fees = $727!
Apparently, NEW buyers are responsible for DELINQUENT fees, rather than the LAZY-A$$ seller/owner.
I notified the seller, but he would only agree to knock off $200 to complete the sale.

On a bright note,my renewal was only $110.

I noticed the commercial vehicle designation as well...which is the 2nd reason why CA sucks.

Re: CA owners: title question?

I paid all the past fees yesterday which amounted to $841 (they told me about this ahead of time and we adjust price accordingly), but the DMV said that this years still needs paid and it's $463.

The breakdown is:
Use Tax $438
City Use Tax $25

Hopefully I just pay this and like everyone else's it drops to $100 ish next year, because I don't know if I can handle $463 a year!

Re: CA owners: title question?

I'm loving Georgia right now...as a non-resident here on military orders, I am exempt from the state ad valorem tax, so my registration for my Ty is only 23 dollars. :tup: Oh, and no smog test, either. :tup:

I think those are, in effect, sales taxes. Only occur once.

Re: CA owners: title question?

Sweet! So I went in got the SMOG approved, then flew over to DMV and got it registered!

As suspected the fees were so high because they are the sales tax fees for the purchase. So I just told them I screwed up on the paperwork and this 1991 GMC Sonoma was only $1,500. :lol:

Only cost me $130:tup:

WTG!! And yes, going racing as much as possible. If you're planning on coming just check the schedule. They don't race -every- Wed. July will be very busy. Lucas Oil Series (Division 7), Wed night racing, brackets on the 3rd and 4th and NHRA western swing the 29th - 31st. Whew. Come whenever you want but try to make some of the big races. It's my understanding Top Alcohol will not be here but those crazy Pro Mods will. Also we usually get some really nice cars on the Bracket weekends and they let you stand at the starting line which is lots of fun.

Just look for the Sy, I'm usually not far away.
