I remember reading something about DMV registration fees dropping off after so many years of a vehicle being out of the system. Any truth to that? Anyone know how many years?
Thanks

Usually after 7-10 years it may or may not drop from the system. It really is up to the clerk you get and the mood he/she is in.

Damn $585! This vehicle I'm looking at hasn't been registered since 2004. I hope the fees aren't 5-600!

I'm going to shoot 50deep a pm

I hope that's the case and it has dropped off! All I know is we have some straight up assholes working at the DMV in Santa Rosa. They are always rude.

^ The Santa Rosa DMV is pretty nice. The guy who tested me for my CDL was cool.

my falcon wasn't registered for 7-8 years and dmv told me if I wanted to pay it off it would cost me $300 but if I wanted to make payments or get a parking permit (leave a payment) it would be $580

Yea the seller tried telling me something about asking the person at the DMV about giving me a discount or something? Something like they don't advertise this but if asked they will knock a hundred or 2 off... Anyone have any experience with this?

Damn. Any way to find out what the DMV fees would be before purchasing the car? Would I be able to call the DMV and give them the vin and get the amount due?
