Sorry the prices are going up. I think you will be paying a little more than we do for renewing a driver's license. I think ours might be around $30. I would love to pay what you do for your registration renewal. I think ours goes by the age and or value of the car, but commercial pays more and that includes any pick up trucks. Even our two old cars are around $85 a year. It never seems to go down. We also have to get our cars smogged ever other year so that adds at least another $50. If they say you have to go to a special smog only station it is even more.

I checked on line to see how much the fees were for a new car bought 8/2009 and here is the registration amts.

$10,000 car $199.
$20,000 $314
$30,000 $429
$40,000 $544

No wonder we only have old cars.
