say what? haha.

how do they even calculate what the registration is supposed to be?

TheBreak · 05-09-2008, 05:30 AM

how do they know you don't have stock wheels?

SanDiegoBuff · 05-09-2008, 11:03 AM

I paid ~$330 for a brand new '08.

Of course, a buddy of mine in Colorado still pays ~500 for an 8 year old E46, so I'm perfectly happy with the $330.

why do stock wheels even matter?

Wow, looks like prices actually went down. My parents used to always make me go to the DMV and I remember paying ~$1100 for both of their Mercedes'....I had a Datsun 280Z that was $170.....

Now, I pay $34.75, I can tint my windows as dark as I want, and my car will never have to be smogged

..........

I bought the car while I was in Ohio and had it registered there....it was such a great deal, I changed the address to a friend's who lives there and just have him take care of my registration every year....

E90330iS · 05-09-2008, 09:22 PM

so how come we get different registration prices when we are driving practically the same year, make and model?

Mattscott · 05-10-2008, 01:04 AM

DMV lottery
