Why not call your motor vehicle agency or go to their website? This is information you should have before seeing the dealer. Some dealers overstate government fees and taxes. Don't be stupid enough to pay them.

Here's the link to your DMV.

Wow, you are right, the CO DMV page is quite lame. They list the things they base it on, but no clue what the rate is so I did a Google Search "Colorado Auto Registration" and found some forums where people are reporting numbers in the $150 to $200 for a late model car.

 

Are you a member of AAA ?
They do all that stuff for you--MUCH better than going to DMV.

What we paid in California, $231 for license fees in my case, or what others paid in other states does not necessarily have any bearing on what Colorado is going to charge you for plates and registration.

I cannot understand why you bought the car without first knowing what your state's fees are if those are such a huge deal for you.

Let me reiterate that what I paid in California has no relevance to how much you will pay in Colorado. In California, license fees are assessed based upon the value of the car in lieu of a property tax. In Colorado, they are determined by the empty weight and type of vehicle.

 

I just bought my plates last week in Douglas county, Colorado and I had to make a ckeck out for 586 the total for the plates that was paid to the dealer then in turn to the DMV was 1599.61 this is how it was broken out

Prior o.t. 117.09
own tax 401.45
lic fee 68.11
title fee 7.20
other fee 10.00
county tax 216.47
city tax 779.29

Hope this helps

 

^^ His was so high because he never paid the tax at the dealership, he paid it at the DMV. No registration is like $1000 unless its a lamborghini or something. In Indiana, I'm going to pay like $275 when my reg. expires in Sept.

 

I had the hardest time getting an answer from the Minnesota DMV or their website, in fact, they never gave me a straight answer. It seems like there needs to be more clarity in your state too. My sales tax was 1500 dollars or so (same as my fed tax credit), and I remember the plates and registration was about 300 dollars. These fees can vary greatly from state to state.

 

In Idaho, I paid $39.


$34 for registration, $5 for plate transfer fee.
