I saw a funny thing .. Nevada registration for a 1985 vanagon .. had the MSRP on it ..some 12,600 dollars or so. thought that was pretty strange.. for bragging rights I suppose .. hey look ..my XYZ cost blah blah blah 'back then.'

it has to do with value of the vehicle for registration cost calculations I believe.

and ....just imagine how much California could save in admin costs by registering cars for two years at a time like they do in Oregon. Somebody oughta wake up to that. Or wake them up.

and of course people sell the car for $ 10K and write the bill of sale for 5,000 ...that's how it's played in Ca since they chrage a flat ...what is it now ? ...8 % tax or so on the purchase price.

That's because they take into account ALL sales and not just the high ones. If I told you how many VW campers I've gotten for less than $500, you might cry. Companies like KBB also look at DMV sales price reports where prices are often (illegally) deflated by sellers and buyers to avoid sales/use taxes.
