Out here we pay excise tax, $25 on every $1,000 of book value. The car begins with a book value set by the state for that particular vehicle (no options), and the depreciation schedule is set across the board: 90% of book in year 1 (the model year), 80% in year 2, 60% in year 3, etc., which is part of the reason I bought an '08. The tax goes to the municipalities, but the roads in my area happen to be among the worst in the state.
yeah i don't what the hell is going on in the state of Nevada. I knew it was going to be higher considering I was paying $550/year for my 06 GS300 and $520 for my 08 IS250. This makes me love my beater 99 Honda Accord...only $95/year.

6.25% (used to be 5%) sales tax due at registration the first time, biennial registration fee of 40 some dollars, and annual excise tax as I described above... in perpetuity. It bottoms out at 10% of original book value, so for the LS it's about $100 per year starting in year 6 or so, but they get you earlier on.
dang, that's crazy. i'm staring at my registration renewal notice from CA DMV and it's telling me i owe $519 by september 14th haha. when i bought the car, though, i think license + plate fees and whatever were almost $900
