If you buy a new DP in California for $200K, you'll be paying about 8-3/4% sales tax, $17,500.00, and about $2,566.00 for registration for the first year. Ouch! The registration fee drops gradually on subsequent years as the vehicle depreciates in value.
Last I looked the Terminator (Arnold) has raised it to 9 3/4%.
Last I heard Los Angeles County wants to eventually (2 years) raise sales tax to 12% !!!! Unfortunately I live in LA County.

I can tell you here in Massachusetts that the sales tax is 6.25% of sale price and registration is $50 per year and title is $75.
What kills me is the excise tax which is $25 per $1000 of value. The first year is 90% of value, second year is 60%, third year is 40%, fourth year is 25% and then from 5 years on, it is 10% of value.

I pay for my MH license every year on my birthday, based on the MSRP. There is no reduction for age. With my birthday in November I used to get a license in May for 6 months but they eliminated that a few years back. 12 months or nothing. The state motto is "Trust me, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."
They will let you get a one or two month tag now in michigan. but no longer. I do it once in the summer for 2 months and once before we leave in the winter for two months. I am sitting at Traverse bay RV resort and it is amazing how many "montana" plates are here. In the class A section there are probably 50 rigs and I counted 14 Montana plates, about 30 from Florida and other states and only 6 with michigan plates. Perfect example how a state LOOSES money because of it's terrible policies.
