In other news are elected officials are spending our money staying in 5 star hotels 7 miles from there home.

Now...don't worry, the fist only hurts for the first few minutes. They say you are supposed to get used to it.

Reading from the blog, if we pay before May 19th, for 2010 sticker then we still pay the old rate?

[Kbueno]

Rate doubles looks like... 3 bills to 6 bills??? Holy crap!

[ex-poster]

...man, just when I start getting tired of living in the midwest, I see a thread like this one.

$600? Amazing...

"Q: Can I pay my fees early to avoid the increase?

A: No. The increase is based on the vehicle registration expiration date. Affected vehicles with a fee due [Expiration] date of May 19, 2009, or later will pay the increase regardless of when payment is received.."

If your registration expires BEFORE May 19, 09 then you are LUCKY (for this year anyway, they'll get you next year!)

my car was delivered on 5/16.. hehehe

[SteveMD]

Wow. In MD, any car is $90 but you have to get two years at a time.

$600? That's insane.

[nhhiep]

that is not much. here in AZ I paid almost 400 last yr.

[TT3 iN NyC]

That's outrageous, in NY I pay $75 and its valid for 2 years.

[shift330]

Just looked mine up. It will cost me $344 in Phoenix next September for one year on the BMW $600 is beyond rediculous. Although I got hosed because Military is usually like $20 a year here UNLESS, you are a resident originally which my wife and I are Should be $20 a year for military regardless of your home state

Here in New Hampshire we have no sales tax so they nail us in Car reg's. I have a 2007 328i base model w/auto. I paid over $600 when new.
Here it's all based on weight, age and base price of car new. I paid $470 a few months ago for the next year.
If someone were to get a new 7 series they would probably pay about $2000

[joec500]

I also heard that San Francisco Parking meters will go out to 10PM and include the weekends!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

[lve2xlr8]

Not to mention the increase in Sales Tax which WILL raise everyone's payment who has a lease!

[googoomas]

those cali rate increases are brutal

[solefald]

Oh man! I got my car last year on 04/26, so i am "only" $319 this year.

Are you kidding me? They can't raise your payment after the purchase. I'm gonna check my lease docs, but i don't think there is a clause for increased taxes. It says on the paper how many payments and of what amount i have.

[GOLFFRR]

just got my bill it went up 5 dollars due to the tax

[isugoo]

I just moved to Cali and so far I have no idea why people love Cali.
VA income tax is 4 or 4.5% and CA is 9%.
VA sale tax is 5% and CA, 8.75%.
Same driving records, my insurance was 120/mo. in VA and CA, it went up to 260/mo.

I'm really feeling hard on all those money going out of my pocket for nothing.
