Glad it is YOU in the PR of W rather than me! Prison rape is right.

I just purchased an 86 SDL and wanted it to have vintage plates.
Washington allows the use of period correct plates or you get the
collector plates they issue. Their plates are $65, to use your own
vintage plate is $35.
That said, the DMV has jacked up all the fees to register your car.
I purchased the R107 and it was tagged as normal car. Pay the 10% tax,
get some more fees paid and it was on the road like a normal car. I
got some vintage plates and paid $35 at renewal one year and never
have to pay or get inspected again. That was a few years ago.
The w126 turned into a prison rape. I had an affidavit from the seller
(federal prosecutor) as to sales price. When I went in to register
that car, the dame at the counter disregarded the thing, decided the
car was valued at the magnificent price the state deemed it to be,
then charged me a full year as a standard car, with all fees that
entailed, purchase of a new set of plates (which I did not need), and
then the fees to use my own vintage plates, along with tax on the
actual price I paid. That was around $200.

What a freaking ripoff. I used to pay $16/Yr for a license plate for
a 240D. Then in the 90s they doubled it to 32. Now it is $51! In
some states,an antique plate is one 50 to 75 fee then free after that .
What do your states charge for license for a 123 or other car over 25
years old? I am sure IL and NE states are worse. I am sure our state
looked at what IL charges and upped the price to be closer to the
biggest ripoff state not on a coast, IL.
They have a antique plate, but it can only be used driving to or from
a show, so it is worthless unless you have a model T. WI used to be
really good for "collector" plates, but the Madison commies ruined that.
