shalafi@lemmy.world 1 day agoTexas used to, maybe still does. You made me try to look it up and couldn’t find a simple source. Plenty of states use MRSP or some measure of the vehicle’s value.
Back in the day (Tulsa, OK) my friend had a 2-ton dump truck with antique tags (over 25-yo), paid $20. Meanwhile, someone buying a super-light Corvette was paying $650. (early 90s money)
I say go on weight, maybe some factoring of value. Registration fees are paying for roads, if your monster vehicle is doing more damage, you pay more.

Yeah my state taxes you based on MSRP too. $25 per $1000 of value, 10% of MSRP value after 5 years.
So if your MSRP was 50K, it’s $125 forever.
