Ah yes, DMV, the horse thieves for state government. Especially when you have a BIG GREEN TRUCK!

Happy New Year Roy. Be happy you are making your contribution to better roads and enforcement...

If I recall correctly my red rig is registered for 25K and it costs me $250 every year for registration. Sounds like you're paying your fair share!

I don't believe the weights make a difference..........seems to be market value. I'll get educated tomorrow.

The 2011 F-350 was $460 first time.....then goes down a little each year.

In Vermont it is based on weight not value and it never goes down, just up.

Yeah MA it would be... DOT inspection every year would be about $150 or more..

Don't forget we have a 5% sales tax on the sale.. So a 60k vehicle would be a 3k one time fee..

We also have an excise tax every year based on the value of the vehicle which decreases

No sales tax......No DOT stuff........There is a value tax that goes down each year. That will be part of the total bill of about $500.

Oh Yea.........No Vehicle inspections.........
