My junkers back in the 70s were about fifty bucks per year.

An expensive car will have a yearly plate fee that can exceed the monthly payment.

This reminds me of living in Michigan. Once upon a time the plate renewal was based on vehicle weight.

As vehicles became lighter they changed the formula so the plate charge was a function of vehicle sales price or current market value.

To make a long story short it’s two to three hundred bucks per year now for my economical type vehicles.
