Registering your car in this city is a rip off.

Title sums it up. Over $500 for a small new car and a 2.95% fee on top because their ATM doesn’t work in the lobby or it probably just ran out of money from the ridiculous fees they charge people. Can’t spare some of that $500 to cover the Debit card machine charges, cheapskates?

Meanwhile the snow still isn’t plowed on my street.

It’s absurd. I couldn’t imagine. She tried to bring up weight and I’m like uhh this is a tiny car that’s not playing into it at all. My old car was heavier and cost $104 last year. The fact that the car is new shouldn’t mean that it costs more to register. What type of nonsense logic is that? Why does some get to pay less to keep their old hunk of crap on the road?

After 5 years it drops to a reasonable amount and stays flat.

It's a calculation based on MSRP and age.

You can avoid high fees by buying used and reasonable costs.

I always thought weight was a factor too (due to wear and tear on roads), just verified it wasn't. TIL.

Jeez mine was under $200 but newer cars are more likely to be stolen in Manch, I'm pretty sure the high crime rate factors in somehow.
