Ira,
My Collage roommate just moved to the bay area from VA. He brought his car with
him so I forwarded your message to him.

Here is his reply:
The fee for a car that was not originally bought in CA, i.e. no CA smog
equipment, is $300. On top of that, there is a yearly fee of something like 2%
of the car's value, similar to property tax that counties charge in states
such as VA. There are no county fees here, just the 2% state fee. A word of
advice to new residents: DMV lets you make appointments to come in to register
- take advantage of it!!! The lines are really long otherwise!
