Anybody have an estimate of the costs for license and registration for 1995 Monaco Signature or Crown Royal. I callled Calif DMV and as usual they were no help at all. They had to have all the details on the vehicle i.e., currrent llicense #, VIN # and current registered owner. I haven't picked out a vehicle yet. I'm just trying too get a feel for the approximate cost for these items. Anybody have any help?

Figure sales tax according to whatever county you're in. Then add probably $200-350 for registration. It varies based on original value, position of the moon, etc.

Our 2013 registration, 2005 Dolphin was $313.00. Seems like the DL is around $25.00.

Sales tax will be somewhere between 8% and somewhere around 10% depending on the county and city where you live. Registration on the unit will be based on the selling price, whether new or used. So, buying a used unit the seller and buyer will agree on a price - that price will be written on the "pink slip" and the DMV will use that value to determine the registration fees due.

Some people will under-report the selling price in order to save some money on taxes and fees and it's almost impossible for the DMV to contest this. But, if there is a problem down the road and you take the previous owner to court for any reason the value as stated on the pink slip is the value the court will use - not the actual price you paid for the unit.

Cal DMV does not collect sales tax! They call it a use tax!!! Mine was 3k when I got my discovery and the yearly reg is 600 simolions. More than my full coverage ins with towing!

You could always use the DMV's Fee Estimator OnLine, it will also estimate the taxes due. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/FeeCalculatorWeb/usedVehicleForm.do

Figure around 10% tax on the purchase price (one time). License plates will cost 0.65% times the purchase price (per year)

DMV will depreciate your coach each year and you will then pay 0.65% of that amount. I don't know the formula that the DMV uses to depreciate your coach, but I do know that my fees go down each year and a part of that fee is tax deductible.
