I live in Kentucky and my plates get more expensive each year since they started the NADA value for my vehicles. My antique VW's go up every year and my 65 bug is up to 68.00 in taxes.
Registration fees in your state

Here's the breakdown on my most recent registration:
Excise tax based on MSRP or Monroney Label if you're organized enough to keep track of it.
Sliding scale slides down to the 5 year mark then stops sliding, at .004. So a $20k car costs $80/yr in excise tax which goes to the town.
IDK about you but a 5 year old car is yuppie territory and they pay the same as 20 year old beaters.
$35 base registration fee for passenger cars or 6k lb commercial. $20 for antique plates.
$12.50 state inspection/ $18.50 for Emissions. All but a buck goes to the mechanic. They lose money on each one, I'm sure.
$3 "agent fee" to renew at town hall vs DMV.
$33 titles for vehicles newer than 1994. 5.5% sales tax.
My 1983 Mercedes diesel had an MSRP of $32k or so and the fees broke down to over $100 for excise tax, barely tempering the $15 savings for running antique plates. They exempt inspections for antiques but limit driving to 3k miles per year, self-reported to the DMV. If I wanted a run-around car, something like an antique 1975 AMC Gremlin with a $2200 MSRP, no title, no inspection would be about as cheap as it got.

Michigan 144.00 for a 2006 Avalon, 101.00 for a 1994 Camry. Includes 11.00 per car for state park entry fee which is optional on registration.

Wow, I thought the lady at county clerk mentioned there is a flat valuation (of $250 or something very low) for all historic/antique vehicles. I must have misunderstood her. So they tax based on the NADA value? Interesting. My '96 Maxima was not in their system for some reason, so she attached a $100 value for tax purposes, which I didn't mind

Well, Washington added new fees to their $30 tab renewal (registration fees, weight fees, etc.). So, it's somewhere around $65.00 for renewal. The Jetta was just under $64.00.
