One day last week Mark and I went to the DMV and got our cars titled in Arizona and also received our Arizona drivers licenses. The people working at the DMV were less bureaucratic and laid back than in Wisconsin, so it wasn't a bad experience. And I got rid of my awful WI photo.
However, one thing that wasn't better was the cost to title our cars. We knew the formula before we went so were prepared. The cost is determined by the base price of your car (my 2001 PT had a base price of $18,000+). Then they take a percentage of that and charge you so much per thousand. My car ended up costing $183.00; Mark's $382. Then next year the percentage they use for calculation will be lower, and so on in successive years. So because I'm new in Arizona I pay more than a person with the same car who has lived here a while.
