It’s absurd. I couldn’t imagine. She tried to bring up weight and I’m like uhh this is a tiny car that’s not playing into it at all. My old car was heavier and cost $104 last year. The fact that the car is new shouldn’t mean that it costs more to register. What type of nonsense logic is that? Why does some get to pay less to keep their old hunk of crap on the road?

It's a tax based on value.

After 5 years it drops to a reasonable amount and stays flat.

It's a calculation based on MSRP and age.

You can avoid high fees by buying used and reasonable costs.

I always thought weight was a factor too (due to wear and tear on roads), just verified it wasn't. TIL.
