Every year, the cost of registration for my car (2000 Saturn SL2) seems to go down. Here's a look at my records:
2005-2006: (initial registration): $183.25*
2006-2007: $153*
2007-2008: $133*
2008-2009: $113*
2009-2010: $93* (check to go in the mail this week)
*Includes $20 for the state library fund and $20 personalized plate fee.
AT this rate, in five more years, THEY'LL owe ME to re-register, assuming I still have the Saturn (unlikely).
* * *
But, that's not the case for Dione's car (1996 Chevy Lumina), as you can see:
2006-2007 (initial registration): $134.25*
2007-2008: $74*
2008-2009: $74*
2009-2010: $74*
*Includes $20 to state rodeo fund and $20 personalized plate fee.
Is hers not going down because it's a salvage title, and they get "frozen" at whatever the registration cost was at the time of the oops?
Anyway, I don't mind paying less, don't misunderstand. I'm just curious about the reason for the difference between our two cars. There must be some law somewhere that regulates how they calculate it.
