It's DMV -- YOU WILL PAY!!!! ...one way or another

(read: welcome to Kommiefornia $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)

I believe it is 5+ years to fall out of DMV's system and if you do not have a PNO slip in your hand, the car has been collecting fees.

You can check fees online:

my vette is 4 years behind without a PNO and dmv wants 775.00 for all the fee's

what is a CHP penalty fee that is 60.00 ??????

If the title is dated over 60 days ago, yes there will be fees. Simple way to avoid it is to just get the title switched over to your name with in 60 days, no inspection(if bought in same state you are registering) or insurance should be needed. I just did that on the 91 I bought cost under $23 and had been unregistered for 3 years. If its already in your name there should be no fee my 92 has been registered off and on several times with out fees. But as always check you local blood suckers, just call the dmv and ask. This is in both Nv and Ma.

and for better or worse where i live in nevada there are no safty or emissions test!! i don't agree with the safty as i have to share these roads with people who think duck tape can hold a hood and fenders on and can also hold air in a tire.

LOL!!! We don't have safety inspections in CA either... but don't say that too loud because if the state can find a way to make money off it they will... CA doesn't care if your car falls apart... they only care if it's a Gross Polluter or not....

And yeah... You have to pay the back fees. No If's, ands, or buts...

Doesn't matter if it is 60+ days after you bought it, if the title is not in your name then you will not be issued a new one with your name on it until you provide a smog and pay all the back fees. If the title is in your name already then why did you have to buy the car, YOU OWN IT!

Please don't bring misinformation from free states and their DMV's in here, you probably don't have to wait for hours to get service in your DMV either..
