Reply to comment by FyuckerFjord in SC to VT Car Registration by Jackandbeansprout

Yep. I’m going to owe 1200 likely. Wtf! Honestly considering just trading in my car and getting something else?? So I don’t have to go back and don’t have to fork up 1200 bucks?!

Apparently it pays to drive old jalopies up here. The older and rustier, the better. Kinda backwards considering how emissions crazy Vermont is. You'd figure they'd want more newer cars on the road, but nope - they tax the hell out of them and let the death traps slide.

Have you had the pleasure of an inspection yet? Apparently thats where they fuck everyone. Lol. Glad mine passed with flying colors, but it took an hour and a half of actual testing. Down in NC it's like 10 mins in the drive-thru shelter and you're good to go.

Still, this is my only big gripe with Vermont.

Ugh! I can’t even start to think about the inspection 😵‍💫 I’m at a breaking point between having a newborn at home and having just had a huge move. This def doesn’t make me want to live here 😂 but hopefully I’ll get through this and it’ll be it. I should have kept my old car since I had the 3 consecutive years of registration in another state 🙄.

I had 3 years as well, still had to pay. No clue how any of it works - maybe they're just out to get us flatlanders lol

Hang in there until May/June - Vermont becomes 100% worth it (minus the ticks).
