Anyone know about CA registration?

[jeffSDguy]

There is this car that has been on craigslist for about 1 or 2 months already it won't sell because of registration that was due in NOV 2009. Anyone know or have an estimate of what the numbers may be?

I want to check it out but I don't want to waste time if it has really expensive registration fees.

I'm pretty certain that fee's do not just keep accruing anymore and instead go up to a certain point before stopping. I've picked up random cars in the last couple years that were 6 months - a year out of registration and only paid about $150-$200 in back fee's.

go to the dmv website and input vin and license plate and it will give you the estimate amount.

I picked up a 91 318i for $500, it has $480 in registration fees, last time it was registered was in '09. Just my experience, though.

yeah it will be a decent chunk

Like said above, if you have the VIN the DMV website can give you a price.

Pretty much expect to pay $400. :) God bless California.

Yup your going to have to pay all fees, tickets , pay up to date tags, smog and etc. Look forward to paying for everything at once. time=fees unless it was non op then your good. GL
