MR AU58 is available! only $70 for the vanity plate! There is no way I'm paying that for a plate! So if the forum wants to kick in and get it for me for Christmas, feel free!

Sure. We do that and next you'll be asking for free flips to store all those weenie coins in.

Let's see - I have 14 cents in my pocket right now - they're all yours.

Just think of it as 2 1/2 coin submissions - a drop in the bucket!

PhillyJoe

Imagine that plate still available after all these years. Worse yet, I tried to get "Accented Hair" on a Pennsylvania plate. They said it was toooo looooong. I said, oh yeah? well you found room for "pennsylvania", didn't you?

I should get:

Way too pricey. You pay 10.00 bucks a year extra in VA for a vanity plate.

ms70

goose3

all those coins you rip and sell for insane profit and your tight arse can't shell out 70.00?

GEESH.


BITE ME!

LeeG

I'm sure they'll take one the the DCAM's you snipped from Russ for it in trade. Ha, Ha, Lee.

joeyuk

I wonder if I should get one?

Russ

ms70,

He can't have that last one. I already got it.

Snipped? I didn't know Russ was that attached to his coins.

earlwbollinger

Is that the total cost $70?
Or does that include the automobile taxes too?
$70 is pretty cheap actually.
I think it would cost a lot more depending on what state you live in and what kind of a car you have.
What's a Rolls Royce license plate cost nowadays?
And that's every year too.

Is HATRACK available?

ok, I'll chip in a TX quarter.

MacCrimmon

The $70 must be extra, because standard plates in IL are $78.....thanks to the felon, George Ryan. Nothing but a fat RINO.

Goober

I'll pony up here, I'd like to see you get that plate, $1 is my donation

MadMarty

Yes the $70 is extra on top of the $78 per year fee. Plus an extra $11 per year just for having the plate! The more I think about it, the more I really DON'T want to be known as MR AU58! If I'm going to spend that kind of money on a plate, I'm going to get one for me! Not for you guys!!!

Russ

The fee is $78 per year? For any car? Man, what a baby. Until we got a ballot initiative passed here, $78 might cover a 40 year old VW Bug. New cars were hundreds of dollars a year. Until recently, it was costing me over $100 a year for a 15 year old minivan.

Lot's of states don't have sales tax on cars and it's figured into the license plates. IN is like that, your 1st year plates there might cost $500. When I bought my car I got hit with almost $2600 in sales tax.

PhillyJoe

$36 a year to register a car here. I think a vanity might be an extra $20. Pretty exciting state if you like keystone on every plate. Some special causes are a better choice: wildlife, uss niagra, drug awareness and the ever popular college vanities with the college logo on them.

Delaware has the coolest plates. You can pass the number down from generations. Four digit plates are pretty cool, three's are getting pricey and the two digit plates are probably driven by people with the last name of DuPont - who probably bought the first cars in the state.

We have sales tax on cars here. Depending on county, anywhere from 8.2% to 9.1%. Until recently, annual license tabs were based on the value of the vehicle - and the DMV assigned values to cars the same way Coin Vault does with coins.

Fortunately, a guy by the name of Tim Eyman wrote and passed the $30 tab fee initiative. Of course, the government sued the people and got it overturned. So, he wrote and passed another one. This time it stuck. I just got a refund check in the mail for last year's fees.

Some states put the county on them. Indiana used to put a "code" at the beginning. Our town's code was something like "47d" or "46e".
After a while you got to know a lot of the towns by the code, but out-of-staters didn't have a clue. Years later I actually went up to a IN car traveling through PA and said, "So what's new in Lafayette?"

I already have JODIRT for my Mercedes and will be getting another variable for the 66 Mustang (probably J*DIRT). Now I have to come up with another variable for the 68 Mustang.

Marty, didn't you make $10,000 or more on a half dollar that you cherry picked off of an old lady last year? Sell some of your weenie coins and buy the plate!

Russ

<< <i>Marty, didn't you make $10,000 or more on a half dollar that you cherry picked off of an old lady last year? >>



The old lady was a dealer. And, he probably would take offense at being called an old lady.

Here in Delaware, the two digit plates are sold at auction, as well as many 3 digit plates. The last 2 digit plate I saw, sold for $15,000 for number 88. The last single digit plate I saw sell, sold for $165,000 for number 7!!!!! Think your plates are expensive? They are held on VERY tightly by the owners and families. They are actually bought and sold as investments here in Delaware. Of course, they have to be ACTIVE plate numbers or they're worth Joe Dirt!!! Ray

No it isn't, doofus!!! Sales tax is charged on every car sale in Indiana, UNLESS you are an out-of-state purchaser, then your resident state has to take that up with you when you register your car in your home state. The fee you are talking about is basically an excise tax which is based on the value of the vehicle; thus, when a vehicle is new, the tax is obviously high, as the vehicle ages (depreciates) then the tax is reduced. After about 10 years or so, I think the license goes to it's lowest level and then you are just paying the plate fees. No wonder you're too tight to buy your vanity plate!!!!!

Here in NH we don't have sales tax on anything- except meals tax of 8%. We don't have income tax either. If you're a renter (like me) you don't pay the outrageous property taxes (which are sky high to compensate for our lack of other taxes) except you have to figure your landlord is getting them out of you somehow. The only time the grand state of NH gets money from me is when my husband and I register our three cars every year in our birthday months. The town I live in happens to charge based on three things: year, make, and engine size. I kid you not! One year the registration on my old Isuzu Rodeo increased when they instituted the engine size thing. We also don't have emissions testing requirements here- just very strict inspection requirements we have to pass yearly. I was slightly happy to be rid of my V6 (it was destroyed when I was in a near fatal car accident with a drunk driver last year). And vanity plates? $25 a year! Mine says PHOTOG- For $25 it's worth it, and if you drive around NH long enough you'll realize easily more than half of the cars on the road have vanity plates.
