Title: $92.75 for New Tabs/Tags on the GS
Post by: RVertigo on March 13, 2006, 01:36:17 AM
$92.75 for a vehicle license renewal on my 2001...  I was a little shocked, but I guess that's what I get for living in Seattle...

Ah Washington...  Home of the "$30" tabs/tags.  + another $22.75 in fees + a $40 "monorail" tax (for a monorail that will never be built).  I remember when WA had a sliding scale for tabs/tags...  My '69 Bug cost $28 for tabs/tags...  Then the (TOTAL JACKASS) "$30" tab law passed and my tabs/tags went up to $45...  Which is the same as the tabs/tags for a $75,000 BMW.  Hmm...  Another tax break for the rich and tax hike for the poor. :mad:




So...   Someone PLEASE tell me I'm not that bad off...  There has to be someone paying A LOT more for tabs/tags.

'bout the same...  Eh...  I think living in Seattle (rather than Bellevue) is worth $40 :laugh:

I'm guessing $100 is about as high as anyone is paying...  But, I'm kinda hoping someone is paying more than me. :icon_lol:

Hi there,
Here in PA, "tags" are $18 for my GS500 (all motorcycles pay $18). For my Honda Accord wagon, tags are $36 per year.
We also have vehicle inspections in PA, and for the motorcycle that costs $22 at my local Yamaha shop.
And do you really call them "tabs" in WA?
I've never heard that term for registration before. Here in PA they're referred to as "tags."
It's a strange country. :)
Best wishes,
Todd

Sorry guys, my 04F only runs me $21 a year on tags. I'm still trying to think up my personalized plate though, so that'll take a chunk out :)

Hi again all,
I forgot to mention -- MSF classes are FREE here in Pennsylvania.
That's the way it should be.
Yours,

Yeah Delaware's pretty easy on the pocket.  $10 a year for my GS and free MSF, also when your done you just have to show you passed MSF at the DMV and it's an instant license. Oh yeah, and my license is like $30 every time you have to renew it, which is about every 5 years, with free motorcycle endorsement.

Yeah... Tabs... Tags...  Same diff.

Vehicle License!

In WA, we have the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) and the DOL (Department of Licensing)...  You go to the DMV to get your Registration and what not...  Then you have to go to a different office (the DOL) for your driver's license...  But, WA has another DOL (Department of Labor).  And it's not a DUI here...  It's a DWI. :dunno_white:

So...  One person voted more than $100 for their tabs/tags...  I feel ripped!!! :icon_confused:

Damn...  $93 for tabs, $240 for MSF, and an extra $10 (or something) for a moto-endorsement just seems like such a rip...  Oh well, at least I got my bike for cheap.
