How much do you pay for your Jeep registration?

[Tredsdert]

I just paid my yearly 2021 JLUR vehicle registration in Southern California....$535.
How much is it in your city/state?

$7 for the safety inspection for the EcoDiesel in Texas, $73 for state registration. I also give $10 every time to state park fund.

How much does your insurance cost and what kind of coverage do you have?

 

[Tredsdert]

Like me you live in Komifornia, so you are screwed no matter what you drive. My F450 is closer to $1000/year and it's a 2008 - and oh by the way, the CARB decided I can't register it anymore in CA because the ~5000 miles a year pollutes too much.

Sounds to me like you need to move to Texas. We need more diesels, you can never have enough diesels!

You poor, poor Californian SOBs .....

Here in America, Ohio to be exact ... This is about what I pay:

Insurance on the Jeep 2021 JLU Willys $1244/yr. Coverage $100/$300 with uninsured & underinsured.

$673 in CO, because it's based on the value of the vehicle.

It’s just another tax.

We’ve been looking at where to live in retirement, and a big part of the analysis is comparing overall tax burden.

For many years Oregon’s registration fees were less than $60 for two years, but they’ve since jumped sharply. They’re still cheap compared to what I’m seeing here, and we don’t have personal property tax or additional “road use fees”. For most of my lifetime we didn’t have sales tax either, but that changed in 2018 when new vehicles became subject to a .5% “privilege fee” — as in you are “privileged” if you work for a living so you can buy a new vehicle once in a while. More recently, Oregon added corporate business taxes which are being transferred to the consumer…

Every state has a tax system. Oregon gets us with a staggering income tax, but other states, like California and New York, tax everything. Heavily.

I’m a vehicle lover, with several motorcycles and several cars/jeeps/trucks accumulated over time, so I couldn’t afford to live in a state that delivered a heavy annual tax beating based on things I already own. That’s a strange concept.

Oregon believes in punishing people who work hard in order to provide generously for those who choose not to work, so it’s a bad place for success, but it’s pretty tax-friendly for vehicle-people living on a modest retirement income.

If you Google “overall tax burden by state” there’s a lot of information, but a state’s relative placement is based upon assumptions about how income is spent And held. Colorado and Oregon are fairly close in the overall burden charts, but for a vehicle-puppy like me, Colorado‘s state and local taxes, including a sales tax of 10% and heavy personal property taxes, would be crippling. When I did the math on owning a diesel-pusher (RV) in Colorado I almost fell out of my chair.

What insurance company do you use? That's about 30% less than my uncle in Ormond Beach pays for liability on an 18 year old Liberty. I think he uses State Farm

A little over $300 here, but no inspections required. I used to live in Missouri and always dreaded inspections given the jalopies I drove then. Now, I see those jalopies on the road and sometimes wish they had to get inspected...

Florida Farm Bureau. Best insurance company I’ve ever had. Auto & Home bundle.

i own 7 cars in cali, 5 are reg with tags, i love taxes

$767

$29 is a state parks pass that is linked to the registration. It’s optional.
I’ve been to two state parks…I won’t be getting it again.

$12 inspection required every 2 year after the first 5. Then we have to pay sales tax when we get our first set of tags. Registration was $54 for 2 years.

BUT, we totally get screwed because we have to pay "personal property" taxes EVERY YEAR based on what the state claims the vehicle is worth.

So the end result is I pay taxes on my money when I make it, then I pay taxes again when I buy the vehicle, then I pay taxes every year forever, until I sell it.

Assuming someone is ignorant enough to actually buy a $128,000 Grand Wagoneer, they will pay close to $12K in taxes and license.
