For those who live in NY with cars.. how much was the total cost to register your car?

Question

for passenger cars

Answer 1

The total cost will vary based on the county that you live in and where the car is coming from.

If you bought the vehicle from a private person in NY and want to register it, you will need to prove that you paid sales tax or pay it when you register. (If you bought it from a NY dealer or a dealer that collects NY sales tax, the dealer will take care of it for you so it will not factor in the cost at the DMV).

Besides the tax on sales, the registartion will be a combination of a price based on weight of the vehicle plus an additional "use fee" that varies based on the county that you live in. The DMV tables for computation can be found here: http://www.nysdmv.com/regfee.htm#localta...

Answer 2

In N.Y. the registration is calculated according to the weight of the vehicle.Do to this it will vary from vehicle to vehicle.

The more it weighs the more it costs.
