Hey guys, just finishing up my second month of owning my new G, and I just got back from getting my plates at the DMV, and was shocked at how much I had to pay. I expected it to be high, but not this high.

$913 is what I just paid for plates. Anyone else have ridiculous high fees like this? I'm in Denver, CO.

 

Are you also in California? Read the itemized list of what your registration entails. Most likely a lot of the cost has to do with new car registration. In CA, the annual registration cost for a G37 sedan should be about $350-$400.

 

Yes my fees for renewal were 490. I have vanity plates. Subtract 45 and its about 445. I live in Los Angeles.

 

I just paid my renewal last week. $436

 

Nope, not in California. Denver, Colorado. Keep in mind, next year it will probably go down to about $650, but this first year registration cost is ridiculous!

 

My renewal just came in the mail today...
Price: $521
Location: Southern California

 

Property tax 230, registration with specialty vanity plate 93, emissions test 30...NC is cheap!

 

$273 in Michigan incl vanity

 

I also live in the Front Range area and your first year registration costs probably include other fees like title transfer and taxes. The costs go down significantly after the first year.

 

$70 registration and $40 for vanity plate in Texas, annually

 

Virginia: $40 registration. Vanity plates $25 for plates plus $10/yr.

 

Another reason California is nuts!! LOL

Ohio - $34.50 plus tax (6.5%) annually = $36.57

 

over 600 in nevada

 

$450 in socal for me too due next month, and the state is still broke... wtf?!

 

like 40 bucks in ohio thats crazy 913.
